 I was facing one of those cryptic MPI error messages on Ranger,
 where your job quits without any useful error message. It turns out
 that this parameter file had

  CarpetIOHDF5::one_file_per_group             = "yes"
  CarpetIOHDF5::out2D_vars      = " ADMBase::gxx"

 and CarpetIOHDF5 would try to loop over the group variables when
 just one of them was selected. As a result it has accessed memory
 address that it was not supposed to, consequently killing the job.

 I have attached the stack back trace.
