Hi Dimitris,

Thanks for fixing this for the 2+2=4 test.
I've just checked, and the 3 seaice_obcs tests pass.

I've also re-run a quick AD testreport on baudelaire (with gfortran):
http://mitgcm.org/testing/results/2012_12/tr_baudelaire_20121219_9/summary.txt
and lab_sea is back to normal.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
