Hi Jean-Michel,

Ooops, sorry, missed it at the top there!

OK, so I see now that #define SEAICE_CAP_HEFF in SEAICE_OPTIONS did  
nothing because capping HEFF is only allowed in LEGACY code.

Are there any "hacks" that I can use in the new sea ice code to keep  
the model well conditioned and running.  I would like to diagnose how  
the ice is piling up, and not having it crash as soon as it starts to  
pile up would be nice

Thanks,
Matt
