Jody, I have finally solved the problem. I was incorrectly passing 1 as the count argument for MPI_Allreduce, reasoning that I was passing to the reduction one buffer of type MPI_PACKED. Instead, I need to pass the actual size of the buffer for the reduction to work correctly.
Thank you anyway for your suggestion that, ultimately, led me to discover the bug.
