Based on your description, it sounds like there might be something else wrong in your code (George's point was that you need to call all collectives with the same signature in all processes on the communicator, but just lipping the output buffer from intensity to intensity2 -- or vice versa -- shouldn't affect that).
Perhaps try with a memory-checking debugger...?

This surprised me. Is there a reason the order of > the else block should match the order of the if block? Is there a more robust > way of implementing this type of code.
