1 gforget 1.1 In general: the overlap corners are perillious for any field located on tracer points.
2     They are never actively used in the model computation so the values there
3     can be meaningless in forward mode or in adjoint mode -- only the exchange
4     can make a difference there.
5     Using a regular lat/lon grid and exch "1", you find the expected value
6     (corner of another tile) but this cannot be expected in general.
7     In the Cube Sphere topology for example, the overlap corner values simply
8     do not correspond to a model grid point!!! The exch2 routines then put a
9     default value there or copy a neighboring value. This is true for XC and
10     YC after they have been exchanged for example.
11     => we are never going to use the values that are found in the overlap corners,
12     either for XC/YC or for T/S
