division by zero in ocn_time_integration_split_init

[xylar]

When using gcc/7.4.0 on Grizzly (see full details below), I'm getting a division by zero error on this line:
https://github.com/MPAS-Dev/MPAS-Model/blob/ocean/develop/src/core_ocean/mode_forward/mpas_ocn_time_integration_split.F#L2156

I spent some time today trying to figure this one out. It seems like the division by zero is not the source of the problem. Instead, cellsOnEdge seems to be messed up (full of nCells + 1 entries) and this leads to numerous other issues. It may be that other fields are also not correct. It will be hard to know if this is a SCORPIO, compiler, MPI or other issue.

I'm not good enough with the MPAS framework to make much headway once the problem seems to be there.
