The problem is that the grid is 43200x21600 (933120000 pts) which
ends up being beyond the limits of the integer indexes being used
to retrieve the data.  I'll transfer this request over to the
netCDF-Java group for their consideration.

However, this would result in a ~4 Gb download of data even if you could
do it and the IDV would not be able to handle it.  You need to subset
the data  through the data source properties first.  You can do this 
following the instructions at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/IDV/docs/userguide/data/DataSourceProperties.html

under the Spatial Subsetting section.
