GRADS 2: Buffer stack limit exceeded in gxshad

Hi

I installed the latest GRADS 2.0.a2 (64-bit) on a CENTOS 5 Linux 64-
bit server. I was testing out my scripts that work fine with GFS 1x1
resolution GRIB1 data (converted from GRIB2) using GRADS 1.9b4 (32bit
binary) on a 64-bit CENTOS 5 server (same server).

The same script throws an error when running GRIB2 0.5x0.5 GFS data
(exact same data, just higher res), and the error is

Buffer stack limit exceeded in gxshad

Anyone know how to avoid this error, since it seems it is running out
of memory (4GB RAM on this server), but I am not sure.
