Segfault when closing GribFile if messages are closed manually

This code works fine:

with eccodes.GribFile('test.grib2') as gf:
    while True:
        try:
            message = gf.next()
        except StopIteration:
            break

On the other hand, this code, which manually closes each message to save memory, segfaults :

with eccodes.GribFile('test.grib2') as gf:
    while True:
        try:
            message = gf.next()
        except StopIteration:
            break
        message.close()

Here's the backtrace:

According to the class-level doc for CodesMessage, # If desired, messages can be closed manually or used in with, so this should work.

Thank you Matthew.

It would be best to send your issues to our Software Support team.
Then they will create appropriate tickets (we use JIRA from Atlassian) to be handed to the Development Team.
So can you please kindly write to:
