Hi Tyler,

Unfortunately I can't offer any help with GARP, as it's not completely 
unsupported by the UPC.

I posted about this to the gembud mailing list:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/archives/gembud/2011/msg00038.html

You might find some solutions by searching gembud, or posting to the list for 
help.

If you're up for it, you may want to edit the source file garp/gui/mod.c to 
modify the size of "numEntriesAllocated" higher and higher until the error does 
not appear anymore. 

Again, that's the most I can offer as GARP is quite old and brittle and there's 
no support for it here at Unidata anymore.

Best,

Michael James
