Hi Robert,

re: OBSRPT problem plotting observations for an entire state

Since you note that there is a problem with all *RPT routines, it indicates
that the problem is actually in the generic OBSRPT application.  I will
check into what could be the problem and get back to you.

Question:  is this failing on your Solaris 10 x86 installation?  This is
important for me to know since I have had no reports of failures on
pre-10 Solaris installations (SPARC or x86).
