[GEMPAK #BPV-965981]: garp segmentation fault on auto update

Hi David,

This has been a known GARP bug for some time now, and while I'm looking into it 
and hope to have a solution for you soon, GARP essentially is unsupported 
software and we warn our users to use at their own risk.  However, as long as 
bug fixes are relatively simply and don't consume much of my time, I make an 
effort to fix GARP as needed.  I will update you soon.
