All,
   I just refreshed the binaries for the OpenGrADS Bundle, now at version *
2.0.a7.oga.2*. This patch fix an important bug that caused "printim" to
crash at odd places. It is strongly recommended that you replace the
previous v2.0.a7.oga.1 installation. This bug bfixes affects all versions:
Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Windows.

   https://sourceforge.net/projects/opengrads/files/grads2/2.0.a7.oga.2/

Notice that this bug fix only affect the OpenGrADS release; no such bug
exists in the COLA releases.
