+    # FIXME(Ole and John): We ran into a problem on Bogong (64 bit) where integers appeared as arrays.
+    # This may be similar to problem seen by Steve in changeset:2778 where he had to wrap them in int.
+    # Now we are trying with the native Integer format (Int == 'l' == Int64). However, that caused casting errors, when 64bit arrays
+    # are to be assigned to their NetCDF counterparts. It seems that the NetCDF arrays are 32bit even though they are created with
+    # the type Int64. Need to look at the NetCDF library in more detail.
