Failure of ufs-weather-model on hercules and orion (probably general) with MAPL/2.40.3 and non spack-stack dependencies. likely build issue of dependencies or MAPL but an issue has been requested

[GeorgeVandenberghe-NOAA]

I believe I am missing something basic and this is not a MAPL defect but user error but I was asked to create an issue when I inquired
about it.

When ufs-weather-model is built with a non spack-stack alternate stack it builds but fails in MAPL at runtime with this trace

this is the error traceback I get

When I use the\ /mapl/2.40.3-esmf-8.6.0 (I.E. "Their" mapl) it works.

I build MAPL this way ($PREFIX contains all dependencies in $PREFIX/lib $PREFIX/lib64 and $PREFIX/include and it works for most cases)

cd MAPL-2.40.3

@bena-nasa is the real expert so I expect we'll hear something from them by late morning. I took a quick look at the relevant lines, but cannot say much more than there is a pointer involved, so the run-time error might be accurate.

My expectation is that MAPL should have trapped this rather than the compiler, so while @GeorgeVandenberghe-NOAA may indeed have "misused" MAPL/History, there is likely a bug in MAPL that simply has not been detected before.
