And by the way, looking at the posted issue #357 Jochem pointed to, it also seems to happen at the first generation for my case. Best,  -- Philippe.

Thank you Andreas and Jochem. I am pretty sure I am at fault for doing something wrong; see attached the relevant output file (.0 and log file). All the best,  -- Philippe.

Hi Philippe what you see is the MPI initialisation. If nothing else 
appears then I suspect anything from: cluster failure, disk error etc,
slurm script error. So this is a suspicion maybe if you can send me full
logfile we can work this out.

Dear All,
   When running optimization in OPAL it sometimes happens that the optimizer gets stuck: the job is still active (shows as running) in the cluster queue, but none of the files (opt/pilot.trace.0) are updated anymore. It also usually happens before any of the .json outputs are written. Doing a cat of the stdout (which is not more updated) gives the info below. Could somebody points to other diagnostics I could use to troubleshoot this issue? My problem is quite simple (I have two objective emit_x and emit_y and one "derived" objective sqrt(emit_x*emit_y) and four constraints. Thank you for any suggestions. All the best,  -- Philippe.
