The patches I referenced above seem to resolve the issue with tmp files I am seeing... but I still have a memory leak. (I will fix the broken tests asap)...

NCEP team would like to expose their grib tables in a machine readable form! See https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/NCEPLIBS-grib_util/issues/293#issuecomment-2015611772 This would provide the data needed to generate the custom ecCodes definitions.

I have not seen sub messages in the HRRR or GFS/GEFS grib2 files. Yet another new wrinkle! My adventures in parsing grib files are documented [here](https://github.com/fsspec/kerchunk/issues/407).
