Werner,

Thanks for bringing this problem to my attention, it will be fixed in the
next release.  Until then, if you delete the 15.20 entry from the lon list
then gribtonc will work fine because it will only have 51 entries. I
tested this using your cdl and grib file.  gribtocdl does have it's
problems, in my notes I mention that it creates a cdl as a starting point
that usually needs some modifications.

Thanks,
Robb...
