With the latest installer (created 2014-12-11) on OSX 10.8, the GRIB importer will crash if fed a bad file.
To reproduce:
1) Start VAPOR
2) Data->Import data into current session->GRIB
3) Select /glade/p/DASG/VAPOR/Data/GRIMs/r_000_64x61_27km_mer.vdf
However, this does not occur when running from source in GDB. This will actually produce the appropriate error message "Unable to create grib handle from file"
I have reproduced this error on vapor1 while attempting to import...
/glade/u/home/milesrl/Desktop/hybrid_v5_rel04_BC5_ne120_t12_pop62.pop.h.nday1.0021-04-01.nc
Note that this also seems to happen when using the command line conversion tools.
note that immediately after printing the error message, gribvdfcreate segfaults
fixed in commit [3a244c]
