Burlen

OK. Thanks. The error makes a kind of sense, because the data has a 
refinenemt ratio of 1/5 per level, but the grid extent is not divisible 
by 5, so there is always a one cell overlap between low/high res parts. 
(At some point I'll try to get the people generating this data to switch 
to a better multiple)

thanks

JB
