[petsc-dev] failure of new parallel configure

[Satish Balay]

Right not most nightly builds are broken.

ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/nightlylogs/archive/2015/03/03/next.html

It might be the new parallel build has non-deterministic behaviror -
so issues will be harder to reproduce?

Perhaps this branch should be reverted from next until its stable?

A couple ofissues that can be reproduced:
