Hi Robert,

I don't know how much help I can be here, I've not tried this before.  cldriv_ 
is the drawing routine for grids, and looking at the source file,

https://github.com/Unidata/gempak/blob/master/gempak/source/gridlib/gu/cldriv.f

there are some things to note: 1) the comment "Made max grid isize * jsize" 
suggests there may be a problem here with the size of the grid. 2) that this 
routine draws contours for grid stuck in common, I would check the size of 
global variables being used in gempak/source/gridlib/gd/grdcmn.cmn
