[gradsusr] error: Buffer overflow detected

Tue Dec 3 16:27:29 EST 2013

Hello Jeff,
Thank you for your suggestion.
I tried to use -m flag but it doesn't work. Appear the massage that it
wasn't provide:

celso1234 at ubuntu:~/2000_Diarios$ grads -m flag
Note: -m option was specified, but no metafile buffer size was provided

And the problem of Boffer overflow persists when I try to run scatter
plot:
