Hi,

I tracked this down a bit, and my impression is that this piece of code in
coll_tuned_component.c

    if (ompi_coll_tuned_use_dynamic_rules) {
        mca_base_param_reg_string(&mca_coll_tuned_component.super.collm_version,
                                  "dynamic_rules_filename",
                                  "Filename of configuration file that contains 
the dynamic (@runtime) decision function rules",
                                  false, false, 
ompi_coll_tuned_dynamic_rules_filename,
                                  &ompi_coll_tuned_dynamic_rules_filename);
        if( ompi_coll_tuned_dynamic_rules_filename ) {
            OPAL_OUTPUT((ompi_coll_tuned_stream,"coll:tuned:component_open 
Reading collective rules file [%s]",
                         ompi_coll_tuned_dynamic_rules_filename));
            rc = ompi_coll_tuned_read_rules_config_file( 
ompi_coll_tuned_dynamic_rules_filename,
                                                         
&(mca_coll_tuned_component.all_base_rules), COLLCOUNT);
            if( rc >= 0 ) {
                OPAL_OUTPUT((ompi_coll_tuned_stream,"coll:tuned:module_open 
Read %d valid rules\n", rc));
            } else {
                OPAL_OUTPUT((ompi_coll_tuned_stream,"coll:tuned:module_open 
Reading collective rules file failed\n"));
                mca_coll_tuned_component.all_base_rules = NULL;
            }
        }
        ....
        }

Does not initialize the msg_rules as ompi_coll_tuned_read_rules_config_file 
does it by calling
ompi_coll_tuned_mk_msg_rules in the case that

ompi_coll_tuned_use_dynamic_rules is TRUE
and
ompi_coll_tuned_dynamic_rules_filename is FALSE

which leads to a crash in line 
  if( (NULL == base_com_rule) || (0 == base_com_rule->n_msg_sizes)) 
in coll_tuned_dynamic_rules.c:361
as base_com_rule seems to unitialized, but NOT zero, and points somewhere...


That is probably not inteneded, as it prohibits the selection of an algorithm
by switch like -mca coll_tuned_alltoall_algorithm 2.

Hope that helps fixing it...
