Hi Kelly,

With the information provided I can't tell if you're experiencing the problems 
reported with 5.11.4 (due to a bug in the grid diagnostics libraries) or if 
you're experiencing something different.

My first suggestion would be to upgrade to 6.2.0 and try the exact same 
process.  Other than that, I would need a copy of your GDFILE 
(gfdl_fut_comp_test_d02_f0500_pres.gem) to test on my system here.

If possible, could you upload this file to the RAMADDA GEMPAK repository 
located at 

http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/gempakuploads/

Best,

Michael James
