OpenIFS fails writing GRIB if grib_api compiled with Intel and -O2

We are aware of a problem in grib_api when using the Intel compiler that seems to affect different versions of grib_api and causes the model to fail with a floating point exception (SIGFPE). This is known to happen in the routine PRESET_GRIB_TEMPLATE or in the GRIB_F_SET_REAL8_ARRAY in the grib_api library. The advice is to reduce the optimization level when compiling grib_api to -O1 rather than -O2 or try a more recent version of the Intel compiler.

The error message that typifies this problem is:

Note that the grib packing can also fail if the model has produced fields with a very large range of values, such that the grib library can't pack the values into a smaller bit range. For further help, please contact openifs-support@ecmwf.int.
