[petsc-dev] Is mpich/master:a8a2b30fd21 tested with Petsc?

[Min Si]

Hi all,

Thanks for narrowing down the problem. I checked the MPICH code and 
believe this is a bug in MPICH. I just created a PR to fix it:
https://github.com/pmodels/mpich/pull/3097

It should be merged into MPICH master branch soon.

Thanks,
Min
