Robert,

re: the error you report seems different than the one reported previously

>You may be right about it being a different error.

OK.  I think it is.  See below.

I put the first parts of your script into a test script here at the UPC
and verified that the problem exists on McIDAS-X v2003b when running on
a Sun Solaris SPARC 5.9 machine for McIDAS built with gcc/g77.  This
told me that we are not looking at a platform-specific problem (had to
check...).

So, I went to the MUG Inquiry Tracking system and looked up problems
with IMGREMAP.  I found one that fits your report:

Inquiry 12313
Summary: IMGREMAP gives "invalid parm - can't get pointer for handle=2" error
when the destination image is a MODIS area.

Given that you are seeing the same problem, I have to conclude that the
problem is not related to the lat,lon navigation of MODIS data alone as
was conjectured in the inquiry interchange:

  ---- 14-NOV-2003 20:09 barryr ------------------------------------------
  *** This is no longer being fixed in #12132.  I'm re-opening this
  inquiry.  Dave says that he thinks part of the bug is in the LALO
  navigation routine, which will probably be very difficult to fix....it
  can't handle the 2 lat/lon navs that IMGREMAP is trying to setup. ***

  See inquiry 12132. The bug in this inquiry is
  being addressed there.

Also, I grabbed the latest version of imgremap.pgm from SSEC and built
it to see if the handle= error has been fixed.  It hasn't, so the
second conjecture in the SSEC inquiry is incorrect as well (sigh).

>It was built using gcc/g77.  I also verified the same bug at Universal

I verified it on Solaris SPARC using gcc/g77, so this is not a platform
specific bug.

I am now looking through the code to see if I can figure out why the
remapping is being terminated prematurely.  I think I understand where
the problem is happening and why, but I havn't figured out how to
_correctly_ fix the problem.

More later...

>Thanks,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
