[petsc-users] Vec entries altered incorrectly

No, what I do *not* want to happen is DAGlobalToLocalBegin(da, vec1...) to 
overwrite values in vec2. I think this is actually a bug in PETSc, but cannot 
be sure because I do not understand the internals of Vec and DA operations 
well enough. The question really is, why would DAGlobalToLocalBegin overwrite 
values in an unrelated vector? (Well, almost unrelated: it was created by 
VecDuplicate from the other vector.)

Cheers,
