FYI Guys,
   The problem I referred to (at least for x-894,y=2020) appears to be
confined to timestep 99 and for depth layers 20-33.  I grabbed what I could
and it is not a problem for me.  The next file on my list was
http://tds.hycom.org/thredds/dodsC/GLBa0.08/expt_90.8/2011<http://tds.hycom.org/thredds/dodsC/GLBa0.08/expt_90.8/2011.html>
where again I want the same location.  This file, for reasons that suggest
there is a problem, there are ONLY 6 TIMESTEPS and the same error
(OPeNDAP/netCDF Error code 1002) shows up in timestep 5.

I'll be grabbing as much of the data as I can from 2003-2012 and will let
you know if the problem crops elsewhere.  I did the same exercise back in
March for other x,y cell not far away and encountered no issues then.

Not sure if that info will help,
Mick
