[petsc-dev] segfault in SNESDestroy()

[Barry Smith]

   Adrian,

    There is a good chance this is a bug that got introduced while optimizing the scalability of the ASM preconditioner. 

   Hong,

     Can you try to reproduce the crash by using the options below on one of the PETSc test examples.

   Thanks

    Barry
