Problems with Excluded Points on grid boundaries in ww3 v6.07

[JMSnyder1980]

I have tried running ww3_grid with the following input files:

namelists.nml.txt
ww3_grid.nml.txt
ww3_grid.inp.txt

With the following bathymetry files:

global_1p00_bathy.dat.txt
global_1p00_obst.dat.txt

When running ww3 v6.17 with the above files I get several excluded points especially around 180 degree longitude. This is a problem since in the ww3 output I get a gap around 180 that I do not want. I have never gotten this type of situation using ww3 3.14? Can you please look at my bathymetry files and input files to let me know how I can get rid of the excluded points. You can see these excluded points in the output log for ww3_grid as shown below:
