PETSC error

[Aron Ahmadia]

Hi Matt,

SIGTERM (signal 15) is a very generic termination signal that can be
sent by kill or killall, but also by a batch system.  We'll be able to
diagnose this better if you send the entire PETSC and MPI output from
your program with the -log_info command.

(i.e.) mpirun -np 4 ./my_prog -log_info

It's possible you encountered an error earlier that caused one of the
processes in the MPI group to send a SIGTERM to the others.  Also, as
a general note, if you run this in a debugger, it will stop at the
place in the program where the signal is received.
