Describe the bug
This is a bug I mentioned in passing a couple of weeks ago that took me awhile to reproduce with a simple case. The attached case fails with ERROR(123): MPI exchange of particles timed out when the obstructions are using HT3D. The reason for the timeout is due to one mesh waiting in INITIALIZE_BACK_WALL_EXCHANGE(2) while another mesh is still working through INITIALIZE_BACK_WALL_EXCHANGE(1) . If I add an MPI_BARRIER between calls 1 and 2 it initializes with no issue. Two questions:

1. Do you see any issue adding an MPI_BARRIER between the two calls to INITIALIZE_BACK_WALL_EXCHANGE?
2. Is there a way we can restructure the error message to identify that the timeout was due to HT3D rather than particles?
