Description
Johann Cohen-Tanugi filed the following problem on the CTA Redmine:
I probably have the run_binned.sh now running as a test script (check DIRAC jobid 3045871). There seems to be a problem with the ctselect I have locally on my laptop, it core dumps in the following way :

This seems to be a cfitsio internal error. To explain the symptom, recall that when an observation definition file is provided on input and observation definition file will also be created on output, and the output FITS filename will be the input FITS filename with a prefix prepended.
Now it happens that the input file is gzipped (see obs.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<observation_list title="observation list">
<observation name="Crab" id="00023523" instrument="CTA">
<parameter name="EventList" file="run_00023523_eventlist.fits.gz"/>
<parameter name="ARF" file="run023523_std_arf.fits" thetacut="0.11180"/>
<parameter name="RMF" file=""/>
<parameter name="PSF" file="psf_hess.fits"/>
</observation>
</observation_list>
Here, the input event file is
run_00023523_eventlist.fits.gz.
ctselect now created an output filename called selected_run_00023523_eventlist.fits.gz, including the .gz suffix although the output file was not gzipped. For some reason, ctfitsio does not like this an core dumps.
I changed now ctselect so that the .gz is stripped from the input filename, i.e. the output filename is selected_run_00023523_eventlist.fits. This went through without any problem.
