PAMI is a library that sits underneath the MPI implementation.  PAMI
errors are most likely either memory corruption, otherwise a bug in the
lower level software.  If this error is reproducible, I would (a) try
Valgrind on a different machine, (b) try to reduce the circumstances for
the crash, and (c) report the issue to IBM.
