Oh, one other thing.  Back on April 27th, NWS changed how it sent out
HRS on NOAAPORT.  There are non-conforming characters trailing the GRIB
products which can throw some decoders off.  For example a hexdump of
end of product:

before:
37 37 37 37 0D 0D 0A 03 01 0D 0D 0A

now:
37 37 37 37 03 00 0D 0D 0A 03 01 0D 0D 0A

Also, if the extra products are added in, expect the Meso-Eta run to
jump from 57MB to 110MB.  Just a word of warning for those Internet
challenged sites like Purdue.
