IndexOutOfBoundException while reading file with IDV

I'm trying to read a netcdf file with IDV. The general structure of the file is quite similar to a lot of other files I've read, but this time, I get the following error-message: 

ERROR: An error has occurred:
Couldn't get data
Problem getting data 133

133 is one of the dimension sizes. I tried to find out a bit more and got to this message:

The exception happens when I try to plot i.e. a Color Shaded Plan View of BC_ForestFires from 
ftp://ftp.met.no/pub/emep/heikok/FF_BC2000_float.nc
It would be nice if somebody could have a look at the file and the problem since I would like to visualize the file. 

Best regards,

Heiko
