Hi Craig,
This is strange. I can't reproduce this problem on any of the machines I
have access to (which are a few), and I also haven't heard from anyone
else experiencing this error. It could be related to the set-up of your
cluster and/or the compiler/MPI library you are using. I'd suggest to
compile with the gcc-compiler (with -g) and look at the core file that's
produced by the crash with a debugger. If the crash is reproducible, this
would tell you if it is caused by gadget2, and where this happens.
