Hi Martin,

it's not clear why in seaice_evp.F (revision 1.8)
you changed a sqrt expression that could never become zero
to one that can. Your comment in CVS log:

- replace SQRT(MAX(deltaC,SEAICE_EPS)) by MAX(SQRT(deltaC),SEAICE_EPS)
   help the adjoint (this also changes the results slightly)

actually does the opposite (produces NAN's).

Problem is that when I revert to old expression I get a stop in
exf_check_range.F

So at least two things seem wrong in recent seaice_evp.F

-Patrick
