Hi Jianfu,

The correct place to post NCO questions is

http://sf.net/projects/nco/forums/forum/9830

Please post any followsups there.

In answer to your question, you have found a bug which is now fixed.
It was caused by NCO using the isnormal() macro to test for strange
numbers (like NaNs). Apparently isnormal() treats zero as not normal.
I did not realize that. The current NCO snapshot uses isfinite()
instead. This fixes the problem you reported. You can download/install
the current snapshot or wait for NCO 4.3.9, which will be released
real soon now. Thanks for reporting the problem!
