It looks like you may be accessing a null pointer location - that is just a guess based on the line "Failing at address: (nil)".

Also, given that the first argument failure calls MPI_Finalize() before returning. You should be calling it before returning from anywhere in the main function - consistancy is important.

The following is still and issue
file_buffer = (double *) malloc(num_rows * sizeof(double *));//1
should be
file_buffer = (double *) malloc(num_rows * sizeof(double));//1
because you are storing double values, not pointer values. That also applies to your other buffers, with the exception of of the data buffer. The data buffer is a pointer to an memory allocated array of pointers. Although the individual entries in the array should be allocated like so
data[i] = malloc(num_rows * sizeof(double); /* not sizeof(double *)
You may want to consider using calloc, when allocating the data array, to ensure that all the pointer variables are initialized to 0.
data = (double **)calloc(num_rows, sizeof(double*));
The main reason you want all pointer types initialized to null (a.k.a. 0), is that free function ignores null pointers. But if the pointer contains some random value, then the behavior is undefined and anything could happen - compiler dependent behavior.

What may help you better understand what is happening; you could always add a print statement everywhere you allocate or modify the data. This is what you would call old school debugging - the print statements are removed before releasing the finished product.

Example:
printf("data (double**)calloc(%d, sizeof(double*)", num_col);
OR
printf("data (double**)calloc(%d, %u)", num_col, sizeof(double *));
For very small data sets, doing this in the data allocation loop will also be helpfull.
for(int i=0; i < num_cols; ++i)
{
    printf("data[%d] = malloc(%u)", i, num_rows * sizeof(double));
    data[i] = (double*) malloc(num_rows * sizeof(double));
    if (data[i] == NULL)
    {
       // print error
       // clean up
       return -2;
    }
}


If you run the program from the command line, then you can just pipe the output to a file for latter study.
application.exe >> output.txt
