Hello folks!

I have some GRIB2 files from the Climate Forecast System Reanalysis,
downloaded from the NCAR database (monthly means of analysis for U and
V @ 1000mb), which open up just fine, but strangely enough there's a
shift of several months in the time displayed in IDV. Instead of
starting at 1979-01-01 the first time listed is 1977-11-10,
consequently ending earlier than expected. A quick look using wgrib2
shows valid records starting from 1979-01-01 until 2009-09-01!

The IDV version used was 2.8u1 (Windows 7 32bits) and 2.7u2 (Linux
i686), both displayed the same issue.

Has someone else experienced similar issues with other GRIB2 files, or
properly loaded CFSR monthly means?

Thanks!
