Ben,

Looking at the 5.11.1 oabsnd.f file, I see that the SN_MAND call is used 
before the data files are open with the SN_OPNF call much further down,
so there is an uninitialized garbage value being sent as the number of 
files (greater than MMFILE)  to initialize the array causing a segment 
fault.

I haven't compared with the 5.11.4 distribution to see if this has changed 
since, but it existed at least in the 5.11.1 distribution.

Attached is the oabsnd.f file I patched in 5.11.1 which you might want to 
check out.

Chiz

[gembud] Segfaults with oabsnd






Good morning gembuddies,

We're encountering a problem with oabsnd on Gempak 5.11.4 (Linux).  Any 
time
we try to run it, it segfaults.  oabsfc reads the grid file, so it doesn't
appear to be file related.  System specs and strace output below.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks,
BC
