Hi,

metar is reporting wrong cloud levels.

I think that replacing the number "3" with the "99" will fix
the problem, as in the patch below:

--- metar-20060405.1.orig/src/metar.c
+++ metar-20060405.1/src/metar.c
@@ -350,7 +350,7 @@
                memcpy(&cloud->type, token+pmatch[1].rm_so, (size < 3 ? size : 3));

                size=pmatch[2].rm_eo - pmatch[2].rm_so;
-               memset(tmp, 0x0, 3);
+               memset(tmp, 0x0, 99);
                memcpy(tmp, token+pmatch[2].rm_so, (size < 3 ? size : 3));
                sscanf(tmp, "%d", (int*)&cloud->level);

Thanks,

Jakson

Thank you for your report. I will look into it. Can you give me an example in which case metar reports the wrong data? That makes it easier for me to debug the problem.

Thank you
Kees
