[MITgcm-support] problem with obcs package

Hi Everybody,

Lately i am experiencing some problem with the obcs package.

When I use obcs package, somehow value of few model dynamical
variables ( "dynstat_eta_max" and  "dynstat_salt_min") is becoming
zero. When the model starts, moniter/diagnostics shows value of
"dynstat_eta_max" for the first 6 steps; from 7th step onwards it
becomes zero, whereas, "dynstat_salt_min" remains zero from first step
onwards. Model results at 7th step are as follows:

When i don't use obcs, no such problem occurs and I get the correct
values of all the model variables.

STDOUT file of such a model run is attached herewith for your perusal.
Please help me resolve the problem.

Thanks,
Suneet
