Inference failed when using greedy decoder

Hi, I'm trying the deploy a NeMo conformer CTC model using Riva. It works well when evaluating with NeMo, but Riva is failing to infer when using this command during riva-build -

riva-build speech_recognition -f /servicemaker-dev/ASR-Model-Language-bn-val-wer-0.132.rmir /servicemaker-dev/ASR-Model-Language-bn-val-wer-0.132.riva \
--name=conformer-ctc-med-voicebook-it1-run3 \
--featurizer.use_utterance_norm_params=False \
--featurizer.precalc_norm_time_steps=0 \
--featurizer.precalc_norm_params=False \
--ms_per_timestep=40 \
--nn.fp16_needs_obey_precision_pass \
--chunk_size=0.16 \
--left_padding_size=1.92 \
--right_padding_size=1.92 \
--decoder_type=greedy \
--language_code=bn-BD --force

Using this command to transcribe an audio file -
/opt/riva/clients/riva_streaming_asr_client --audio_file /audios/a1.wav --language-code bn-BD --riva_uri localhost:50051
And getting this error in the riva speech container -

Reproduce the failure with the supplied riva-build configuration and riva_streaming_asr_client command, then inspect the ctc-decoder.cc and grpc_riva_asr.cc locations named in the logs. Compare the greedy-decoder setup with the working NeMo evaluation path. Done means streaming recognition completes without the decoder error or timeout.
