Hi Dave-

This is Don.

When you load in the JNLP to start the IDV, can you go to the
Help->About menu and tell me what version and build date is listed
for the IDV?  Your bundle points to the latest version:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/webstart

but it could be that Webstart is caching the previous version and
not updating to the latest which has the fix Jeff described.
