you have a problem/bug in either your compiler (PGI compilers are
not exactly known to be bug free) or your MPI implementation.

the bug can be a simple one (some programmers used to prefer
calling free(3) on pointers redundantly to avoid memory leaks)
or a complicated one (your compiler has miscompiled either 
MPI or QE). it is hard to tell which has happened.

for the first kind , there is a workaround by setting the environment
variable MALLOC_CHECK_ to 1, but the ultimate solution is to
replace compiler and MPI library with a combination that works
correctly on your machine. please contact your system administrator
and demonstrate the failure.

cheers,
