>> I have posted a new release of GrADS, version 2.1.a3. This is primarily a bug fix release, although there are some new features in file templating (time templates supported within CHSUB strings) and we are now supporting GRIB2 Product Definition Templates 6 and 10, for percentiles. The problems with metabuffer handling and font file initialization were causing GrADS to steadily increase its memory use … if you are using version 2.1, I would advise you to upgrade.
