CDO

Dear CDOers,

Apologies for not putting this under a proper Bug report. I couldn't figure out where a submit bug button was.
Thank you for this very valuable software. I have used it successfully for several years.

The current issue is the following:

My ASCII grib table that has functioned for many versions of CDO with option "cdo -t" no longer works as of cdo 1.7.0.

I note that some change was made to the behavior of cdo -t with this version.

Instead of showing "TMP" as the parameter name, the table appears to be ignored and is showing the generic "var11"

CDO version 1.7.0, Copyright (C) 2003-2015 Uwe Schulzweida

I have tested this on Mac OS X 10.11.3
and a linux system (2.6.32-504.23.4.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri May 29 10:16:43 EDT 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
).

When I roll back to 1.6.5.2, the same command on a different linux system (3.0.101-0.46-default #1 SMP Wed Dec 17 11:04:10 UTC 2014 (8356111) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
) gives the expected result of parameter name "TMP"
