I'm afraid I don't know why that would be. :-(
It is fairly common for debuggers to not handle Fortran modules properly;
that is very often not the fault of the debugger, but because the compiler
has changed from one undocumented format to another.
However, if I had to bet on the cause of this, I would bet an installation
problem, with at least one set of paths or parameters set incorrectly or
incompatibly with other ones. Now, WHICH set? Dunno.
MPI_COMM_WORLD is set to a large integer (1140850688) in MPICH2 so I
wonder if there is something in HDF5 and/or NetCDF4 that doesn't
like 0 for the communicator handle. At any rate, you have given me
some ideas of things to check in the debugger tomorrow. Is there a
safe way to change what MPI_COMM_WORLD is set to in OpenMPI?
No. Open MPI's Fortran MPI_COMM_WORLD is pretty much hard-wired to 0.
That's a mistake. But probably non-trivial to fix.
