[IDV #MPR-281760]: Problem reading Grib file from IDV

This indicates that the parameter table for that particular grib message
is missing.

Not a show stopper, but an annoyance.  The wgrib program must have
a default table that it uses if it can't find the right table.  That
may give incorrect results, but at least it doesn't stop the program 
dead in it's tracks.  That's a feature request for the grib decoder
that the IDV uses.

What version of the IDV are you using?  According to that message, Robb
was going to add it to the grib tables that the IDV uses.  If you are
not using the latest, please try that since the table may be in that release.
 
If you are using the latest and still have problems, I can provide a
work around until we get that table in the distribution.
