Ian,

I did try on cartesian grid, and it is still wrong on beta plane
(and I can see why, since fCori is not periodic in Y-direction),
but it's working on f-plane.

I think that at the end, it will be better to change the current set-up 
(either to use cartesian-grid and fplane, or to use lat-lon grid with 2 column),
because right now, the problem is more than just the restart which fails.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
