Animating a merge1dset where one set has only one member

Now I can animate simple thunderstorm tracks displayed as ellipses
(using Display.Shape etc), however if any of the tracks have only one point,
I get a visad.SetException as listed below.

I can avoid the exception if either:
* I don't animate the display or
* I only display a single point track (ie don't merge the sets).
However I'd like to do both!

I can replicate the problem in Test03 with the changes below.

Thanks in advance for any help on this,

James

Code changes to Test03.java (original lines commented out):
int ntimes2 = 1;
// int ntimes2 = 6;
....
double[][] times = {{start}};
// double[][] times
//   {{start, start + 600.0, start + 1200.0,
//   start + 1800.0, start + 2400.0, start + 3000.0}};
Set time_hornet = new Gridded1DDoubleSet(time_type, times, ntimes2);
// Set time_hornet = new Gridded1DDoubleSet(time_type, times, 6);
....
image_stinger.setSample(0, tempw);
//
// for (int i=0; i<ntimes2; i++) {
//   image_stinger.setSample(i, tempw);
//   tempw = (FlatField) tempw.add(val);
// }

The resulting exception is:
