collated fileHandler hangs when using #include clause in decomposeParDict

Summary

When running the case with collated output, for any given solver, if there is an #include clause into the decomposeParDict, introducing for example an external dictionary with variables but also EVEN if it is a empty dictionary, the run will hang forever. Just the fact that there is an #include clause into the decomposeParDict causes the run to hang indefinitely.

Steps to reproduce

For ANY OpenFOAM tutorial (or at least/tested on sineWaveDamping(rhoPimpleFoam) and damBreak(interFoam)):

  1. Just add an #include clause into your decomposeParDict (#include myDict)
  2. RUN: blockMesh -fileHandler collated decomposePar -fileHandler collated mpirun -np $CORES $SOLVER -parallel -fileHandler collated HANGS INDEFINITELY ...
  3. Remove the #include clause and try again.
  4. RUNS SMOOTHLY.
