Hi Barry,

As I mentioned earlier, the code works fine in PETSc debug mode but 
fails in non-debug mode.

My code works in this way:

*/DM  da_u,da_v,da_w/**/

It is better to use the option -start_in_debugger then type cont in each debugger window and then when you think it is “hanging” do a control C in each debugger window and type where to see where each process is you can also look around in the debugger at variables to see why it is “hanging” at that point.
