Hi Mike, First, a _very_ quick comment that is not intended to provoke much of a discussion: I have just IMGLISTed and IMGDISPed all 16 channels from the most recent Full Disk images received on NOAAPort, stitched together using Ryan's latest ldm-alchemy script, and served off of lead.unidata.ucar.edu with _no_ problems. Here is the textual output shown for the test I ran (note the use of defining a string and then using REPEAT to run the command successively while changing an option via '!1'): DATALOC ADD NPGOESR LEAD.UNIDATA.UCAR.EDU Group Name Server IP Address -------------------- ---------------------------------------- NPGOESR LEAD.UNIDATA.UCAR.EDU <LOCAL-DATA> indicates that data will be accessed from the local data directory.

I just touched base with Ryan... his git push went to a different repository earlier. He just pushed the change up to GitHub.

This is not happening for me on my development system or on lead which should be running the same code as you. I don't know what to say!? Perhaps your ADDE dataset definition is mucked up? re: > > First thing for you is to grab the new version of the restitch python > > script from GitHub and implement it on your ingest machine.

If I come across anything else that may be > helpful I'll let you know. You should be able to grab the newly modified ldm-alchemy from GigHub. And, you should revert your ADDE dataset definitions back to what they were. re: > Thanks for all your help! No worries. Please let me know if you continue to have the weird segmentation violation problem. Again, I am not experiencing this! By the way, it looks like they fixed the black pixel problem in the SCMI images distributed as tiles in NOAAPort.
