Here is the information shown on gdb screen

Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.
0x00000000006c2bef in velocity_g (l_sufx=1, suffix=..., nmax=12, njamxc=34,
     cinfradx=..., radial_coordx=.FALSE., _suffix=3)

diff(ic,idim)                                      !diff is a very small 
value, e.g., 1.0d-316
(gdb)

After type cont on gdb screen, I got error information as below

[1]PETSC ERROR: *** unknown floating point error occurred ***
