The attributes' dictionary of a cdms2 variable has a spurious 'name' key

[jypeter]

I have just noticed a strange 'name': 'variable_2' key in the attributes dic of a variable. I'm still using cdms2 from CDAT 8.0

The clt variable has no name attribute in the input file (when using ncdump -h clt.nc). And this attribute does not appear when using var.info(). See example below

>>> import cdat_info
>>> file_in=cdms2.open(cdat_info.get_sampledata_path()+"/clt.nc")
>>> file_in.id
'/home/share/unix_files/cdat/miniconda3/envs/cdatm_py3/share/cdat/sample_data/cl   t.nc'
>>> var_in = file_in('clt')

>>> var_in.attributes
{'name': 'variable_2', 'tileIndex': None, 'comments': 'YONU_AMIP1', 'long_name':    'Total cloudiness', 'units': '%', 'grid_name': 'YONU4X5', 'grid_type': 'gaussia   n', 'time_statistic': 'average'}

>>> var_in.info()
