Re: [gembud] dctaf running amok

Gembuds:

This is being caused by a mis-coded remark section from one station. The
decoder is getting into an infinite loop. I had hoped to get a release out
before this became a big issue. In the meantime, here is a fixed file that
goes in $GEMPAK/source/bridge/tf/. It now looks for a remark that starts
with either "RMK" or "BY".
