20030815: corrupted GEMPAK sounding/upperair files

David,

I have not found any problem here. Can you tel me what OS
your decoder is running on as well as your plotting programs.

If you built the distribution locally, you could see if dbx or gdb 
would tell you where the program was.

Otherwise, you could send me a copy of a file that exhibited the behavior
and I could try to duplicate your problem here.
