Hello Hong,

I just want to check with you if there is any updates on why the code
crashes under -sbaij?

At the meanwhile, unfortunately PETSC-3.5 hasn't been installed on my
server due to some technical problems. I hope technicians can get it done
as soon as possible. I will update you when I have any new results. Thanks
so much.

Best regards,
Jifeng
