<div><br></div><div>As usual:</div>- Is it reproducible in all systems, or just in some specific systems, or with some specific option or execution mode?</div><div>- Is it reproducible on other machines or compilers?</div><div>- Is it reproducible on a small test that can be quickly run?</div><div>- Is any message issued if you run it interactively (at the terminal)?<br></div><div>Once you have a reproducible small test, better if in serial execution, please open an issue on Gitlab.

Presumably, it will stop somewhere in "pw_write_binaries". Then you do the same inside pw_write_binaries. It's dumb, using a debugger would be much better, but it takes more time to learn one than to look for the crash "the dumb way". Once the crash is located, sooner or later one finds also why it crashes</div><div><br></div><div>Paolo<br></div><div><div><blockquote type="cite">

<div>are you running pw.x in "driver" mode? this is a rather special feature that is not thoroughly tested
