Description

There is a bug in some EASE *.til files through at least Icarus-NLv3 (and also NLv4).

Affected EASE *.til files say "N_grid=1" in line 2 of the header, but the header still includes three additional lines for a second grid.
This is confusing and results in problems when the *.til files are read using canonical MAPL tools, which rely on the correct entry for N_grid in header line 2.

The bug should be fixed in the bcs processing suite before any new bcs are generated.

For reference, there is also a related GEOSldas issue that deals with cleaning up the work-around for this bug
GEOSldas #289
