More wierd behaviour from MatIsSymmetric?

[Toby D. Young]

I am having a little trouble, or confusion, with the MatIsSymmetric
function. I am getting the reverse behaviour from this routine that I
expect. I am convinced I have a symmetric matrix, but the answer I get
from this function is always zero - ie, PetscTruth = PetscFalse.

Why, if PETSC_YES is an alias for PETSC_TRUE, do they have opposite
behaviour according to the documentation? That doen't seem right. What
is the idea here?
 
I there an error in the documentation, or am I misunderstanding
something? I appreceate your usually helpful remarks!!

For reference, please see:
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/petsc-as/snapshots/petsc-current/include/petsc.h.html#PetscTruth
Or the notes written below.

Using petsc 2.3.0;
Best,
	Toby
