ECMWF reanalysis and Gribmap

[Don Hooper]

Bill Scheftic,

The ones I looked at had junk bytes at the end, as suggested by this excerpt
from the "help" for gribmap:
-e  ignore junk bytes (non GRIB msg) at end of file (e.g., ECMWF GRIB because
    of blocking)
-E  ignore junk bytes in middle and/or end of GRIB file
