[petsc-users] Problem with "likely location of problem given in stack below"?

Dear All,
    I hope you're having a nice weekend.
    I got a problem with /ksp/ksp/example/tutorial. I was trying to execute
this example with petsc-dev in a share  memory dell workstation with 8
cores. The parameter for DMDACreate2d is 500, 500, which means it generates
a 1997*1997 2d grid. It is fine to run it with single process with either
"./ex29" or "mpiexec -np 1 ./exe29". However, it came across a error when I
tempted to run it with more than 1 process. The error message is like this,
when I was trying to execute it with 4 processes. I was thinking about if
the 'stack size' is the problem, so I enlarge it to 1000000000 with
'ulimit' command. However, the same error message keeps showing up.
