The local message optimization stores a reference to entry method arguments in the destination chare's local msg buffer if the source and destination chares lie on the same PE to avoid copying and serialization. This is an issue because if the sender chare then modifies the data being sent, the receiving chare will now be holding a reference to the modified data.

mainProxy = None
class TestCopy(Chare):
def __init__(self):
x = np.array([0, 0])
mainProxy.send(x)
x[1] = 10

For example, the above code prints out [0, 10]
