test_data_override sporadic failures in CI testing

Describe the bug occasionally the first data_override test fails in the CI but passes on subsequent runs:

expecting success of test_data_override2_mono.1 'test_data_override with monotonically increasing and decreasing data sets (r4)': 
    mpirun -n 6 ../test_data_override_ongrid_${KIND}
