[Met_help] possible error in METv1.1

Sirs:
I have installed and run METv1.1, and discovered a possible error in the
grid_stat function,
Reference ./lib/vx_met_util:
In vsdb_columns.cc, fimction get_column_format is called to build
fmt_str, which is defined
char fmt_str[max_str_len];
and max_str_len is defined in constants.h:
static const int max_str_len = 512;
However, get_column_format appears to pack 730 or so characters into
char_fmt_str - which overflows and
eventually causes a seg fault.
Tnx,
Matt
