[THREDDS #ZWT-786400]: Unable to open subsetted NetCDF files

I downloaded that file to my Ubuntu environment, GrADS was still able to read 
it like the other ones.  No errors, no trouble...

Ah HA!  This is where your problem lies.

I just installed that version using the superpack.exe like you did onto a 
clean-ish Win10 environment.  NOW I get failures, and GrADS is unable to open 
the file.  I'm pasting that output and the output from "q config" below.


At this point the issue seems to be with that particular installation of GrADS. 
 Given the differences I'm not sure if it's because you're using Windows, the 
fact that yours is OpenGrADS and mine is not, the older version of netCDF that 
uses, or something else entirely.  But since I'm not getting any failures in a 
current install of GrADS I can't rightly blame either the TDS or GrADS itself; 
my recommendation would be to try a different install of GrADS, preferably in a 
Linux environment if that's at all possible.

Since this doesn't seem related to THREDDS I'm going to close this ticket out, 
but please let me know if you have any other questions.


Here is my GrADS output from that Win10 environment:

ga-> sdfopen GFS_Global_0p25deg_20230220_1800.grib2.nc
