The problem is that your latitudes change direction at the 52 point:

[48]: 18.218628,-87.33871,5673.8726
[49]: 12.376205,-87.41195,5656.7305
[50]: 6.261139,-87.45691,5609.3237
[51]: 0.0,-87.47207,5539.839
[52]: -6.261139,-87.45691,5506.035
[53]: -12.376221,-87.41195,5472.393
[54]: -18.218628,-87.33871,5419.2974

where I would expect them to change at the 103 point since yc is
dimensioned to be 102.  Am I missreading that?  Is this an artifact
of the pole?

The fact that the pressure levels work is a fluke in that we
don't check for grid consistency.  For a grid like this, that would
probably lead to problems on data probing.
