[petsc-dev] Iteration counter depends on KSP monitor!

[Barry Smith]

    This is normally not expected but might happen under some combination of solver options. Please send the output of -ksp_view and the options you use and we'll try to understand the situation.

Okay, this is great :) I like it so see iteration counts decreasing, but I would like to know what's going on, and eventually, a KSP monitor should not influence the whole game. An to answer your first question, I run the code through valgrind and its free of any errors. Any idea what to check next? Thanks for any advice.
