Gael and Jean-Michel, thanks very much for replies.

I am experimenting with updated sea ice code on my baby-Beaufort set-up:
http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/MPMice/beaufort/

Incidentally (for Torge, Martin, and Patrick), I can run multiple copies
of the Beaufort experiment on my 4-yr-old, 4-GB Macbook Pro.
Each copy requires ~100 MB of memory.  Strange that it would
run out of memory on newer Mac hardware?
