The mdwarf_hydro.py anelastic script appears to not conserve angular momentum at present. This is a known issue from previous implementations, but we're just seeing firm evidence now. Suspicions of this arose from odd large-scale zonal flows being driven before nonlinear saturation. Inclusion of an Lz diagnostic appears to confirm this concern.
