Hi Kevin-

We've had  several reports of problems using the binary distributions
of 5.11.1, but others who have built from source seem to have better
luck.  If it's any comfort, my SNCROSS2 binary core dumps, but I
don't have problems with SNCROSS.

I'm looking into this when I have a chance, but we are having difficulty
covering GEMPAK support until we get a new person in here. My next
step is to build from source on my local system (FC7).

Can you save and send me your default settings for SNCROSS?
