Wayon,
The grib products contain a size after the start of the product. Since
gribtocdl didn't find the end of the grib product at a the predicted
place, it gives error message "oversize GRIB product" and stops
processing the grib. The problem might be a corrupted grib product or a
grib product that has the wrong size in it. I would try another grib and
see if you get the same error. It seems that gribtocdl "sort of" ignored
the error and wrote out the cdl anyway but without the parameter. I'll
probably fix gribtocdl to not write out the cdl if oversize error is
encountered.
