Restart file path name in POP

[mirin]

I believe I have found a CCSM/POP bug in tavg.F, where it searches the string tavg_outfile_temp, looking for 'hist', to change to 'rest' (around line 1600). I had at first named my historical case Thist, so the file path included the string 'hist'. At restart time, the code erred because it could not find a restart file of the name ..../Trest/ocn/hist/...

I believe that the tavg.F coding spotted the hist in my job name and changed it to rest, rather than the intended hist farther down in the path. I since renamed the job and it ran fine.

Art, you're absolutely right about the source of the problem and the temporary work-around. This isn't likely to be corrected in released CCSM code any time soon, so I recommend your work-around to anyone else who encounters this problem.

In future internal versions of ccsm3 pop and pop2, this problem will be eliminated.
