[petsc-dev] What is wrong with CHKERRQ() after PetscInitialize()?

[Barry Smith]

   It has never been allowed. 

    If PetscInitialize() fails and returns a nonzero error value then we cannot know how far PetscInitialize() has gotten and hence if PetscError() will run correctly.

    Similarly CHKERRQ() should not follow PetscFinalize()

    Should we have another macro for those cases?
