I am seeing this error on Cray-KNL machine compiled with the intel compiler in
release mode (but not in debug mode). (The problem does not change/go away when
I modify the avx flags passed to the compiler, which can change alignment
apparently)
A parcel is serialized with size 0x8d bytes and transmitted, but when
deserialized, it tries to read 0x96 bytes from the stream and throws the
exception " {what}: archive data bstream is too short: HPX(serialization_error)"
Ideas on how to track down the problem are welcome.

Yes, it is. start your application with --hpx:attach-debugger=exception.
Eventually you'll get a message that an exception has occured and the PID as
well as the host where the exception occurred. Once you attached your debugger,
for example gdb, you have to figure out which thread threw the exception (info
threads). The thread that sits in the sleep function is the one you are looking
for. Switch to it, and inspect the backtrace.
Does this help?
