SV: Error codes from external packages

[Lars Rindorf]

Hi Matthew

I have included the -mat_umfpack_prl parameter, but it does not make any difference. I have checked the spelling with petsc manual. When umfpack crashes it (umfpack_di_numeric) returns an error code. I want to access that code. 

Here is what petsc returns (with/without -mat_umfpack_prl option):
[lhr at localhost notch_patch]$ getdp patch_notch.pro -msh patch_notch_29000.msh -pre res_static -cal  -ksp_type preonly -pc_type lu -mat_type umfpack -mat_umfpack_prl

We call

  umfpack_zl_report_status()

with the UMFPACK status code in the event of a failure. Printing for this is controlled by the -mat_umfpack_prl option I believe.
