We still occasionally see this error, but it is very sporadic, and seems to
involve some combination of compilers and MPI stack being used. It may be
specific to this test input, but it is hard to reproduce.

Best advice is to just be alert for segmentation faults if you are running
Hamiltonian replica exchange.

No: this should just mean that the test is skipped.
