Hi John,

These are runtime errors and happen most frequently with gempak decoders build 
using gcc/gfortran 4.6 or great, reported mostly on Fedora Core systems. I 
wrote about a fix at 
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/gempak/tutorial/runtime_errors.html

The solution is to be sure that the -fno-whole-file gfortran flag is being used 
in whichever $NAWIPS/config/Makeinc file you are using to build GEMPAK on your 
system.  The flag was baselined for Fedora linux gfortran builds last year:
https://github.com/Unidata/gempak/blob/bc574a37c27dd39027c570e49a26ba86d663aa3e/config/Makeinc.linux64_gfortran_fedora#L12

Please let me know what OS, gcc/gfortran version, and $NAWIPS/config/Makeinc 
you are working with.

Michael
