[Qgis-user] error message

Greets:

Was wondering if someone can decifer the following error message please:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Warning: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::getRecord failed :  select * from 
tbl_srs where parameters='+proj=longlat +a=6371200 +b=6371200 +no_defs'
Warning: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::findMatchingProj will only work if prj 
acr ellipsoid acr and proj4string are set!...
Critical: QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::createFromWkt -- theWkt is 
uninitialised, operation failed
---------------------------------------------------e0f----------------------------

How this comes about is as follows:
1. download an NOAA grib file
2. gdal-info shows the file is not corrupt and properly configured
2. gdal_translate creates a sample.tif and sample.aux.xml file holding the 
meta data
3. loading the sample.tif as a raster into qgis produces the above generated 
error.

Is there any way I can correct for this?

gdal = 1.6.0beta2, released 2008/11/12
gqis = 1.0 Kore
os = ubuntu 8.04

Best regards and thanks
