I just pushed a couple of fixes to PCFIELDSPLIT in petsc-3.3 (<a href="http://petsc.cs.iit.edu/petsc/releases/petsc-3.3/rev/943dde820f7f">http://petsc.cs.iit.edu/petsc/releases/petsc-3.3/rev/943dde820f7f</a>, <div><a href="http://petsc.cs.iit.edu/petsc/releases/petsc-3.3/rev/5a9ebf885615">http://petsc.cs.iit.edu/petsc/releases/petsc-3.3/rev/5a9ebf885615</a>) In particular, the second changeset</div>
<div>modifies the way the splits' nullspaces are configured. In my view the old behavior was not quite correct.
<div>Here are the relevant comments: </div><div><a href="http://petsc.cs.iit.edu/petsc/releases/petsc-3.3/rev/5a9ebf885615#l1.9">http://petsc.cs.iit.edu/petsc/releases/petsc-3.3/rev/5a9ebf885615#l1.9</a></div><div>and </div>
<div><a href="http://petsc.cs.iit.edu/petsc/releases/petsc-3.3/rev/5a9ebf885615#l1.37">http://petsc.cs.iit.edu/petsc/releases/petsc-3.3/rev/5a9ebf885615#l1.37</a></div><div><br></div><div>However, I don't have use cases where the old way of handling block nullspaces</div>
<div>leads to a failure. If there is justifiable legitimate usage for the old ways, the</div>
<div>changeset can be easily backed out.</div><div><br></div><div>Dmitry.</div>
