Describe the bug
ww3_tp2.6 regression test stalls and reaches time limit. Log file shows that the model hangs at this stage:

        output dates out of run dates : Track point output deactivated
        output dates out of run dates : Nesting data deactivated
        output dates out of run dates : Partitioned wave field data deactivated
        output dates out of run dates : Restart files second request deactivated
   Wave model ...

The error seems to have entered the code after PR#1333

To Reproduce
Run ww3_tp2.6: (I had run matrix05 and encountered the issue)
run_cmake_test -b slurm -o all -S -T -s MPI -s PDLIB -w work_pdlib -g pdlib -f -p srun -n 24 ../model ww3_tp2.6

Expected behavior
The run will stall and reach time limit.
