Running wave_stat crashes with segmentation faults using the global-workflow build of gfs_utils

[sbanihash]

What is wrong?

To create wave ensemble stats for both gridded and point outputs, the wave_stat exec is called. Within the global workflow, build_gfs_utils.sh is used to create the wave_stat.x. Running wave_stat jobs that calls this executable keeps crashing with segmentation faults on both Hera and WCOSS2 (Have not tested on other machines)

Running scripts with the wave_stat that is built within the gefsv12 workflow (/lfs/h1/ops/prod/packages/gefs.v12.3.12/exec/wave_stat) does not crash and runs successfully on WCOSS2.

What should have happened?

Running a simple case for wave_stat should create mean, spread and probabilistic products (mean_out spread_out prob_out)

What machines are impacted?

All or N/A

Steps to reproduce

1. Copy working directory with inputs from here: Dogwood: /lfs/h2/emc/couple/noscrub/saeideh.banihashemi/Dev_Work/gfs_utils/make_test
2. Git clone https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow.git
3. git submodule update --init --recursive
4. cd sorc
5. build_gfs_utils.sh
6. ./link_workflow.sh
7. Go back to your work directory(copied from step one) and copy the wave_stat.x from global-workflow/exec directory to your work directory
8. Edit the job.sh script paths and accounts then : qsub job.sh
9. You will see the failure message in wave_stat.out
10. Do the same thing but just copy wave_stat from the gefsv12 package in your work directory

cp /lfs/h1/ops/prod/packages/gefs.v12.3.12/exec/wave_stat wave_stat.x

11. Run job.sh again and you would see that the wave_stat.out does not have any errors and grib2 outputs with correct values should be produced as:
    mean_out
    prob_out
    spread_out

To check my test for a failed(with g-w built version of wave_stat) and successful run(with ops version of wave_stat) please see here: (Dogwood)
Successful run: /lfs/h2/emc/couple/noscrub/saeideh.banihashemi/Dev_Work/gfs_utils/test_success/tmp_HTSGW/2019020404
Failed run: /lfs/h2/emc/couple/noscrub/saeideh.banihashemi/Dev_Work/gfs_utils/test_crash/tmp_HTSGW/2019020404
