Chris,

The MAXFRAMES limit is set to 500 in $NAWIPS/nprogs/ntrans/include/defs.h.
I think you may be running up against the value of 50 for the number of
ValidTimes defined in $NAWIPS/nprogs/ntrans/include/panel.h:
char          ValidTimeString[50][15];

That string array is holding 50 strings of 15 characters.

You can try increasing the number of time strings up to MAXFRAMES.
I'll have to look at this later to see if it causes and other problems.
