CDO

Hi all,

I get the following error when I try to transform a file from spectral space to grid point space:

#! cdo sp2gpl file_spectral.nc flie_gp.nc

Error (sptrans_new) : Allocation of 67135078400 bytes failed. [ line 147 file specspace.cc ]
System error message : Cannot allocate memory

Somehow it tries to allocate a huge amount of memory even though the file is only 26MB. Does anybody have an idea what could be the cause for this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you and kind regards,
Christian

You can find the file attached. Below you can see the most important information.

I'm using the following version of CDO:

But I get the same error with an older version of cdo (1.9.5) on a different computer.
