This runs cleanly with MPICH and Open MPI.  Mark, PETSC_COMM_WORLD is
_usually_ equivalent to MPI_COMM_WORLD.  You should *never* use it in
PETSc library code.  It is not a "PETSc communicator" or "inner
communicator" -- those terms refer to a dup'd communicator held by PETSc
objects for PETSc's exclusive use.
