I think you have an indexing error while reading from this local vector
in your residual evaluation.  The contents of the array are explicitly
initialized to zero in VecCreate_Seq, but when memalign is not available
(your trace indicates this is so) PetscMallocAlign allocate a little
extra space and aligns the result, leaving a few bytes uninitialized
(memory further away may also be uninitialized, but this error isn't
saying complaining about those places).
