If it is not a problem of your compiler or mpi libraries, it can only be
the usual problem of irreproducibility of results on different processors.
In order to figure out this, one needs as a strict minimum some information
on which exact version exhibits the problem, under which exact
circumstances (e.g. mpirun -np ... ) and an input that can be run in a
reasonable amount of time on a reasonably small machine.
