[petsc-users] Vec entries altered incorrectly

That's what I thought, too.

Stripping it down will take a while, it is a relatively long piece, but I did 
notice something that strikes me as odd:

What is the correct Fields.hdr.state at the point before calling 
DAGlobalToLocalBegin()? My two vectors have a different value there and I 
suspect that might be the reason. (The other vec has state 4, the other has 

If that is so, how can that happen? I have checked quite a few times that all 
DAGlobalToLocalBegin's have the corresponding End-call, that I pair every 
DAVecGetArray with DAVecRestoreArray, and every DAGetLocalVector with 
DARestoreLocalVector. Does the order in which I process the vectors matter 
here? The order of DAGetLocalVector, DAGlobalToLocalBegin/End, and 
DAVecGetArray for each vector obviously matters.

Cheers,
Juha
