Segmentation fault when reading example GRIB file with xarray

[jdassink]

When running the following example case from https://github.com/ecmwf/cfgrib, my iPython session crashes when using encodes version 2.18.0.

import xarray as xr
ds = xr.open_dataset('era5-levels-members.grib', engine='cfgrib')

returns: zsh: segmentation fault ipython

I noticed that the problem doesn't occur when running encodes version 2.17.0 instead of version 2.18.0

Works ok for me on my mac

conda create -n test_env python=3.8 --y
conda activate test_env
conda install -c conda-forge xarray cfgrib ipython
wget http://download.ecmwf.int/test-data/cfgrib/era5-levels-members.grib

ipython
import xarray as xr
ds = xr.open_dataset('era5-levels-members.grib', engine='cfgrib')
