ERT crash with core dump when running ERT with the localisation job (non-adaptive localisation) in stable version 2023.09.00
To reproduce it, setup a case with localisation.
Even the simplest localisation config files trigger this crash.

The reason for this error was that a file with wrong file format for GRID keyword was used. A grid file with extension .EGRID was supplied, but he format was .GRID not .EGRID This resulted in seg.fault in libecl EclGrid reader. An improvement in repo libecl for EclGrid could be to catch this error and report wrong file format instead of crashing with seg.fault.

User error resulted in wrong filename extension and this trigged the libecl core dump.
