Robert, It may be that the jasper/jpeg 2000 libraries aren't playing well with the compiler flag. That would limit the problem outside of the other programs (except nagrib2). I will have to test the compiler options as affecting those 3rd party libraries. Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support > It looks like the old Sun compiler optimization issue.
