[GEMPAK #PGK-898839]: dcgrib2 issues on Cent OS 5.5 and GEMPAK 6.2.0

I'm not able to recreate this problem on my end, and don't know of any problems 
with dcgrib2 on systems similar to yours. However in the past when users 
experience issues similar to those you're seeing (FL -4 error, missing grids in 
gem file) it tends to be caused by multiple instances of the decoder (dcgrib2) 
running at the same time, attempting to write to the same file.  The log 
snippet you posted doesn't show this, but are you seeing different process IDs 
in the dcmetr log elsewhere?

Can you upload a copy of one of these gem files which show correct grids in 
GDINFO but don't display?
