There was a problem with the way I was doing the tests,
not with PetscOptionsGetString. PetscOptionsGetString now behaves
as expected in all tests. Sorry for the confusion.<br>

Ok, something weird is going on. Some of my test cases
are behaving strangely (the output of the test in my previous
message is the expected behavior, but previously the test gave
different results). Let me figure out what is going on with the
tests before proceeding.<br>

I am trying to use PetscOptionsGetString to retrieve
the value of an option in the options database, but the
value returned in the last argument indicates the option
was not found. In the attached code (a modified
version of ksp example 2), the string "-ksp_pc_side" is
passed in as the argument name. If I run the code as<br>
<br>
./jc2 -pc_type ilu -ksp_pc_side right<br>
<br>
I get the output:<br>
<br>
option -ksp_pc_side was found<br>

<div>You gave the options and the program says it was
found. What is the problem here?</div>

from line 71 of the file. Petsc does not complain of
unused options when the program finishes. Am I using
this function incorrectly?<span class="HOEnZb"><font
