[petsc-users] [petsc-3.2] MatView on dense matrix

[Alexander Grayver]

Matt,

Can you explain what do you by seeing what format is returned?
I will check in debugger of course, but still I find it strange.
I have two versions of petsc (3.1-p7 and 3.2-p1) configured with the 
same options, my code and runs are absolutely identical and I get this 
error only with petsc-3.2.

Regards,
Alexander
