ParMETIS_V3_PartKway with locally no vertices crash

Hi all,
Here's some background before the question/crash description:
I'm trying to partition a graph distributed among processors, however, the number of vertices is smaller than the number of processors.
What do I do with the arrays passed into ParMETIS_V3_PartKway that would be zero-sized on the processors that contain no vertices (adjncy,vwgt,adjwgt)?
I'm using Fortran, and a zero sized array is not well defined. However, even a(0:0) sized allocation does not work. I get the following traceback from ParMetis:

Error! ***Memory allocation failed for AllocateWSpace: wspace->core. Requested size: -28 bytesforrtl: error (76): Abort trap signal

Do I have to add dummy vertices to have at least one vertex per processor? Could I give those dummy vertices zero weights and the edges connecting to them 0 weights?

Thanks in advance for looking into this!
