[GEMPAK #HXZ-866042]: use of gdcsv

As far as I can tell, gdcsv is not starting any gplt process so I don't think 
gpend/gplt would is the issue here.  

I do know that MMFILE = 8 is the Maximum number of open files, declared in 
GEMPRM.PRM and 
gemprm.h... that may be a cause.  An easy test would be to change to MMFILE = 
15, rebuild gdcscv and watch/re-run to see if there is a change.
