[petsc-dev] Parmetis test ex152.c fails on 64 bit integers

[Barry Smith]

  Jed,

    This test is failing on me with —with-64-bit-indices.  It seems to be reading binary from some data file so I suspect the data file is wrong for 64 bit integers but the example does no test on integer size. 

   Is this test suppose to work for —with-64-bit-indices or should it have proper guards to not crash with huge mallocs in that case?

   Thanks

    Barry
