20030224: model grids && GDATTIM = F000

Daryl,

Looks like you probably have a corrupt file, shared library change,
or file system problem.

The grids/times you ist are most likely RUC parameters since they
don't exist with the AVN, and the file size is somewhat suspicious.
Could be a versionitis witth your glibc as well.
