I'll try that when I have access to the code and compiler again,
however I use -snes_mf because I dont have any jacobian and I seem to
remember that using -pc_type lu dosent work when using -snes_mf, but I
might have understood wrong.
I have used the same timestep I use for the old 3-stage RK I can try a
really small timestep instead.
And it fails both when using TS or SNES, which probably almost the
same thing considering they both try to solve the first timestep.

OK, I will try my best, I have never tried something like that before.
 I rebuild petsc also?)
