[GEMPAK #OEA-962048]: Sflist throwing memory fault.

Hi Yeshwanth,

The SFLIST error you're seeing is likely a result of either a damaged or 
incorrectly written file header, for an unknown reason.  I'll check on the 
ldmadmin issue here and get back to you, and perhaps have more information 
about why SFLIST is having trouble reading file headers.
