 We tried an alternative solution, which was to __increment the number of XIOS servers__ in order to reduce the number of messages sent to the same process and by the moment it seems that it is effective. We tried an alternative solution, which was to __increment the number of XIOS servers__ in order to reduce the number of messages sent to the same process and by the moment it seems that it is effective.
  
-**Diagnosis:** The problem is that an one point the buffer for data transfer is not 4-byte aligned, and the library assumes it is. This is a really low level problem and we do not completely understand the relation between this and reduce the congestion, but maybe in the future we can get more information.  +**Diagnosis:** The problem is that an one point the buffer for data transfer is not 4-byte aligned, and the library assumes it is.

 **Problem:** When loading module fabric, created by Ops to solve Issue 2 on NEMO (assertion invalid), EC-Earth enters in a deadlock. Our NEMO benchmark was rather running, but MPI_Finalize was not working and jobs never finished until wallclock time limit was reached.  **Problem:** When loading module fabric, created by Ops to solve Issue 2 on NEMO (assertion invalid), EC-Earth enters in a deadlock.
