[ncl-talk] ESMF bilinear regridding - error: Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Hello Mirce:

Is there some number of loops that the program will pass through without
giving a segmentation fault? If so, it may mean that you are running out of
memory.

Or, you could find the loop it crashes in and see if you can just run that
loop by itself.  Or, perhaps, you can run other loops around it, but not
that one indicating a data problem.

Just some things to check before trying to figure out if the program itself
is broken.
