We must have fixed a bug in 2.7a1. ;-)

I'd say that it was either a problem with the netCDF-Java library
or something in the GeoGrid->VisAD code.  I'm betting the former
since the version of 4.0 used in 2.6u2 was before the non-alpha
release and was at a time of transition for some of the netCDF-Java
code.  The IDV side didn't change much/at all during that period.

Sorry that happened.  At least we are getting better. ;-)

We hope to have a stable 2.7b1 release out next week.
