DA with imposed parallel decomposition

[Dave May]

Hey Matt,
    In one piece of code I have, yes the call to DAGetInterpolation() does
seem to cause a nasty crash.
It doesn't occur all the time, just with certain processor sizes (64) and
certain mesh sizes (80x80x40). I was wondering if there was some
pathological cases I did not know about.

I think I will have to write a stand alone test case to see if I can
reproduce the error in a simpler code.
I don't think what I'm doing should cause a problem, but I'm not sure how
best to debug the problem I have.

Any hints would be appreciated.  :)

Cheers,
  Dave
