For what it's worth, I have done some more testing of this. The QBUF
data doesn't always crash nmap2 right away. Sometimes it loads for a
split second (you see a flash of the plots), then crashes. Sometimes I
am able to load it just fine, animate it, etc. But, if I then try
loading it again or loading additional frames, it will crash.
I tried running the pre-compiled version with the same result. For now,
we are back to running 5.9.3, which works fine with the QBUF data.
Regards,
Brent

Subject: GEMPAK 5.9.4: QBUF Crashes nmap2
Hello all,
Our upgraded to 5.9.4 was pretty smooth, except that now when loading
QBUF products (QuikSCAT BUFR from NOAAPORT), nmap2 crashes. The same
exact data files work fine with 5.9.3. Under 5.9.4, in my window where
I started NTL, I get some messages (below) that I don't get with 5.9.3.
Anybody else tried QBUF with this new release?
Best regards,
Brent
