20050209: GARP Crash Using Model Data

Patrick,

Are you using the Garp defaults file that came with 5.7.4?
Or did you copy an older one from a previous distribution?

Could be that your older file doesn't play nicely with the changes
made to use the datatype.tbl file aliases rather than Garp's
substring interface. 

You might try typing "where" at the gdb prompt, but you may have
to recompile Garp with "-g" instead of "-O" in 
$CONFIGDIR/Makeinc.linux.
