Describe the Problem

This issue was raised by a user via met-help:
https://rt.rap.ucar.edu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=98979

The user did send us data to test, but we were also able to replicate the data that created by running "make test".
Running Stat-Analysis to aggregate the ECNT line type results in the following error:

ERROR  : 
ERROR  : CRC_Array::operator[](int) const -> range check error ... index = 0, Nelements = 0, Nalloc = 0
ERROR  :

Confirmed that this problem exists for both MET version 9.1 and the development versions for MET version 10.0.0. Recommend that we include a fix in version 10.0.0. Also, be sure to add a new job to the unit test which exercises this functionality.

Expected Behavior

Stat-Analysis should be able to aggregate the ECNT line type.

Environment

Describe your runtime environment:
1. Machine: Replicated this functionality on kiowa (Linux) and my Mac laptop
2. Software version number(s): at least MET version 9.1 and later

To Reproduce

Describe the steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Go to a build of MET for which 'make test' has already been run.
2. Run the following command:

bin/stat_analysis -lookin out/ensemble_stat/ensemble_stat_SKIP_CONST_20120410_120000V.stat -job aggregate -line_type ECNT

3. See error:

ERROR  : 
ERROR  : CRC_Array::operator[](int) const -> range check error ... index = 0, Nelements = 0, Nalloc = 0
ERROR  :
