Excessive "Load the cloud coefficients" print out in gsi.x built with crtm/2.4.0

[RussTreadon-NOAA]

@jderber-NOAA noticed that when we run gsi.x on Hera with crtm/2.4.0 we find

Load the cloud coefficients:
...Cloud model: CRTM
...CloudCoeff file: ./crtm_coeffs/CloudCoeff.bin

written to stdout hundreds to times. This is also true on Orion. This printout is not in the operational global crtm/2.4.0 gsi.x job log files.

A check of Orion /apps/contrib/NCEP/hpc-stack/src/hpc-stack/pkg/crtm-v2.4.0/libsrc/CRTM_LifeCycle.f90 finds

    ! Load the cloud coefficients
    IF ( Local_Load_CloudCoeff ) THEN
      WRITE(*, '("Load the cloud coefficients: ") ')
      WRITE(*, '("...Cloud model: ", a) ') TRIM(Default_Cloud_Model)
      WRITE(*, '("...CloudCoeff file: ", a) ') TRIM(Default_CloudCoeff_File)
      err_stat = CRTM_CloudCoeff_Load( &

Hera /scratch2/NCEPDEV/nwprod/hpc-stack/src/v1.2.0/pkg/crtm/libsrc/CRTM_LifeCycle.f90 contains

    ! Load the cloud coefficients
    IF ( Local_Load_CloudCoeff ) THEN
!!$      WRITE(*, '("Load the cloud coefficients: ") ')
!!$      WRITE(*, '("...Cloud model: ", a) ') TRIM(Default_Cloud_Model)
!!$      WRITE(*, '("...CloudCoeff file: ", a) ') TRIM(Default_CloudCoeff_File)
      err_stat = CRTM_CloudCoeff_Load( &

The above Hera copy of CRTM_LifeCycle.f90 is dated Dec 18 2021. The crtm/2.4.0 include files and library are dated Jun 14 2022. It seems the Hera crtm/2.4.0, like Orion, was built with the load cloudcoeff writes active.

We should turn off this printout in crtm/2.4.0 on Orion and Hera.

Are the crtm/2.4.0 versions installed on Hera, Orion, and WCOSS2 identical?

The repeated messages are indeed coming from CRTM 2.4.0 EMC installation.
I did not find this in JEDI crtm2.4..0 build.
I think the crtm/2.4.0 on Orion and Hera are identical.
We asked them to pull the crtm/2.4.0 from the JCSDA official site to build.

I would like to mimic this build on S4. Is there a particular repository or branch of the CRTM that has these print statements removed?
