Apologies for taking a while to respond.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">Are you saying it works for a while but fails when the problem is large, or that it never works with fieldsplit_1? And how many processors are you using?</blockquote>

<div>All of these are serial runs. The preconditioner always fails for large problems; but I also found an example where it fails for a fairly small matrix. fieldsplit_1 is the one that fails, although fieldpslit_0<span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">always</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> works. </span></div>

<div>I tried the developmental version (from today), but the same bug persists.</div>

</div>
<div>I have some code that reproduces the example. The index sets that I use are non-overlapping; I also checked with matlab that each fieldsplit submatrix is non-singular.</div>
<div>The issue is with fieldsplit_TA: if I do not use -fieldsplit_TA-pc_type_gamg, then the solver converges. Otherwise, it crashes with the same message.</div>
