Hi Ross,

Well I dig a bit more in the issue and seems to me the problem comes from
g++ which 9.1.047 uses. I got similar bad behaviour on other
codes. For example many OpenMP codes which are running fine under 9.1.043
crash. My compilation of Amber was done first serial (all tests pass) due to auxiliary
tools and the error cited below happened when I tried to build the parallel
version using mpich. I used sgi_altix option but no -static.

Thanks

Alex
