Hi Oliver,

thanks, I've now tried your patch, but I still get a segfault. I believe this is still a problem with the BTree. Here is the backtrace:

Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

>>>>>>>>>>> The problem is that in parallel/ddd/include/ddd.h the type DDD_PROC is defined as 'unsigned short', so can only store up to 2^16 different processor IDs. In the subroutine IFCreateFromScratch(), where the segfault occurs, the variable lastproc, which is initialised to PROC_INVALID is of this type. According to parallel/ddd/dddi.h, PROC_INVALID=(MAX_PROCS+1) and MAX_PROCS=(1<<MAX_PROCBITS_IN_GID). Investigating the core dump with gdb, lastproc is indeed 1, at least for MAX_PROCBITS_IN_GID=16 and then on processor 1 the pointer ifHead never gets initialised, so dereferencing it with ifHead->nItems++; causes the segfault.

However, this only occurs if I specify the with_ddd_maxprocbits flag, if I do not set this (i.e. only use DDD_GID=long, as you do), then it runs fine (I have only done a small run so far, and haven't tried 7 refinement steps, so can not say anything about that other error you get).

I could fix this by writing data out in Dune::VTK::ascii format instead. Could this be a big/little endian issue? HECToR is 64bit, but my local desktop, where I run paraview to look at the output is 32bit, not sure if that has any impact.

On 1 processor it runs fine now, but when running on 6, this is what I get, looks like it crashes in loadBalance(), but I can't make sense of what's happening inside UG. It always seems to crash inside ifcreate.c, either in line 482 or 489:
