There is no way to continue CG here because it gets a zero divisor, and
interprets
this as an indefinite matrix. You can try GMRES, however I would first check
your
matrix using -pc_type lu -ksp_type preonly to make sure its not singular.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their experiments
is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their experiments
lead.
