When I try to post process a reconstructed lagrangian simulation with particleTracks I run into a segmentation fault.

The decomposition method was metis (but I also had similar problems with other decomposition methods).

Please see the outputs below for details:

I was having a similar issue and figured out the problem just today. I'm not sure whether the same is a problem in your case, but I've just posted on what worked in my case: Segmentation fault with particleTracks
