Robert,

In $NAWIPS/unidata/programs/gprcm/rcm.h, I defined MAXTMPL as 20
(in modifying the program to use templates, eg RCMDAT). This is too small
when you aren't using file name templates. Change this to 132 and
recompile your Linux source. I'll make this change for the binaries
being posted for the I distribution.
