[IDV #KWE-346293]: degrees_east > 180 plots off map!

Hi Rich-

I've finally gotten back to this (only taken a year).  If I
load in the test.nc file that the peru.ncml points to, it
looks like the lat/lons have been changed.  Is that true?
If so, do you have a file that exhibits the initial behavior?

Thanks.
