Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Hi CMS team,

My run of u-dq440 is failing in the atmos_main stage with a segmentation fault (core dumped):

srun: error: nid005245: tasks 320-383: Segmentation fault

slurmstepd: error: *** STEP 11548582.0 ON nid005225 CANCELLED AT 2025-11-14T13:34:48 ***

etc.

I can see this is happening before UKCA_TRACERS_COPY_TO_UM module, somewhere just before the command to write “Copying tracers out.”. Possibly around the ukca_step point. I have run with extra diagnostic messages. The job was running fine yesterday, however the difference is that I have set l_ukca_qch4inter = .false. and have made some edits to the code to allow this to proceed with out errors flagging up: https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/trac/um/changeset?reponame=&new=131827%40main%2Fbranches%2Fdev%2Fhannahbryant%2Fvn12.0_hyway_h2_emissions%2Fsrc%2Fatmosphere%2FUKCA&old=131791%40main%2Fbranches%2Fdev%2Fhannahbryant%2Fvn12.0_hyway_h2_emissions%2Fsrc%2Fatmosphere%2FUKCA

I am confused by this error and wondered if it might be a memory issue etc. Have you seen it before? I have 12Gb on PUMA but have only used 11Gb and have space on Archer2.

Thanks,

Hannah
