Description

Trying to run `GmshDiscreteModel` on a `.msh` files results in segmentation fault using

```
julia> VERSION
v"1.12.2"
```

and the Tutorials repo as cloned from the current repo. I have also tried `] update` which results in the same error:

```
julia> include("models/elasticFlag.jl")
Info : Reading 'models/elasticFlag.msh'...
Info : 21 entities
Info : 1199 nodes
Info : 2447 elements
Info : Done reading 'models/elasticFlag.msh'

[53623] signal 11 (1): Segmentation fault: 11
in expression starting at /Users/me/Tutorials/models/elasticFlag.jl:5
_platform_memmove$VARIANT$Haswell at /usr/lib/system/libsystem_platform.dylib (unknown line)
Allocations: 30061901 (Pool: 30057673; Big: 4228); GC: 19
zsh: segmentation fault julia --project=.
```

I did have a combination of environments, packages which make this work (the `GmshDiscreteModel("models/elasticFlag.msh")` is the problem), but I have since lost that setup! Certainly, when using a clean installation of this repo and following the instructions here https://gridap.github.io/Tutorials/stable/, `GmshDiscreteModel` results in this error.

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks
