Hi Ken, > Please let me know when the snapshot nccopy problem is fixed so I can > test it out with DAP. *** Testing nccopy on ncdump/*.nc files *** copy c0.nc to copy_of_c0.nc ... Out of memory ./tst_nccopy4.sh: line 18: 1174 Segmentation fault ./nccopy $i.nc copy_of_$i.nc FAIL: tst_nccopy4.sh Unfortunately , I can't duplicate the problem here either on a Linux or Sun platform. In either case, the 01-14 snapshot completes successfully. Also the "Out of memory" message merely indicates malloc() failed, but doesn't help in determining from which function emalloc() (which calls malloc()) was called. Did you get a core dump when the failure occurred? If so, can you supply a traceback for where nccopy was when the memory allocation failed? It's just copying a relatively small netCDF-3 file, ncdump/c0.nc, when the problem occurred ... --Russ > -Ken > > Unidata netCDF Support said the following on 1/14/2010 11:51 AM: > > Ken- > > The problem with 4.1-rc1 was fixed and is in the snapshot. > > The snapshot problem is with nccopy, which is a new utility > > being added to 4.1.
