[ferret_users] ferret crash with DEFINE ATT/OUTPUT

[Lev Tarasov <lev@xxxxxx>]

Hi all;
Can one only change attributes for variables from netcdf files?
I would like to change the variable long_name for a variable from
an ascii file that I will be writing to a netcdf file. When I try
this, I get a crash:

 	NOAA/PMEL TMAP
 	FERRET v6.84
 	Linux 2.6.9-101.ELsmp 64-bit - 07/19/13

yes? SHOW ATTRIBUTE/ALL H
     attributes for dataset: ./idHhpt.nn41945
 H.long_name = H
 H.missing_value = -1.E+34
yes? DEFINE ATT/OUTPUT H.long_name="GLAC ice thickness (m)"
 *** NOTE: Changing the value of attribute H.long_name
**ERROR Ferret crash; signal = 11

Cheers,

Lev
