As you know, we are currently without at GEMPAK support person. ;-)
We'll try to figure this out.  I was able to run gdtopo on my machine, but
changed the GAREA to 37.5;-108.0;45.7;-101.5  (I suspected you wanted
101.5 west).   But even with 101.5 east it didn't die like yours did.

What version of GEMPAK are you running?
Was this a binary install or was it built from source?
What operating system is this running on?
Has the OS been updated since GEMPAK was installed?

Thanks for the info.
