Hi Brendon, Still investigating this one for you. Discovered that when the full path name is specified (WWFIL=/home/data/gempak/nwx/watch_warn/NPW/2009051814.NPW) it becomes truncated after 20 characters. I have fixed this but am still trying to pin-point the source of the segmentation fault. When I do I will send you the new source file to recompile and I'll wrap the change into the current 5.11.4 source distribution.
