Rich, In going back through the archives: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/glimpse/gempak/2521 It appears that we saw this once before. It seems like the contour spline fitting algorithm may have been the problem and that your duplicate levels might be causing some 0 second derivative. I don't seem to have your problem here using my running version at present. If you would like me to crunch some gifs for you, I can do that too. Otherwise, we'll see if my distribution binary for solaris works for you.
