ELM crashes with 1-d output (again)

I seems that ELM has lost the ability to output in 1-d. It works fine for 2-d, but when setting hist_dov2xy = .false. in the user_nl_clm file I get the following error when the model tries to output a history file:

[0] pio_support::pio_die:: myrank= -1 : ERROR:
[180] NetCDF: Numeric conversion not representable
[0] pionfwrite_mod::write_nfdarray_double: 250 :

Here is the stack-trace:

I used the command: ./create_newcase -case hist_outputtest02 -compset I1850CRUCLM45CN -res f19_f19 -project ACME -mach anvil

I should note that I have tried several configurations and they always fail for 1-d output except for one point simulation (the 1x1_smallvilleIA.CLM45CNCROP compset)
