Segfaults during initialization when using the cpp interface on certain compilers

[psakievich]

Bug description
We are consistently seeing segfaults in nalu-wind's CI during the openfast initialization process in our unit tests. These tests just read in a token input file, initialize openfast and then test some data types in nalu-wind.

An example github action report can be seen here: https://github.com/Exawind/nalu-wind/actions/runs/3527523887/jobs/5916699183

I tried to run this same test on my laptop using apple-clang@13 + gcc@11 and I don't see this.

To Reproduce
Clone the docker image: docker pull ecpe4s/exawind-snapshot:latest
From inside the container run:

# load bash shell
bash -c
# load spack-manager
source spack-manager/start.sh
# setup a nalu-wind build with openfast
quick-develop --name segfault --spec nalu-wind@master+openfast
# install environment
spack install
# dive into the build environment
build-env-dive nalu-wind
# run the tests and see the segfault
./unittestX --gtest_filter=ActuatorBulkFastTests.NGP_initializeActuatorBulk

@tasmith4 and I have spent time trying to debug this segfault in the past on SNL hardware and couldn't find a good solution.
We saw the segfault disappear in debug builds.

Expected behavior
I expect the code to initialize without segfaulting on any platform

Screenshots, if applicable
