1) Please send messages with logs to petsc-maint at mcs.anl.gov so everyone
does not get huge attachments

2) You have a buggy compiler

libfast in: /cygdrive/f/users/user1/petsc-3.4.0/src/mat/impls/baij/seq
baij.c
baij2.c
baijfact.c
baijfact2.c
f:\users\user1\petsc-3.4.0\src\mat\impls\baij\seq\baijfact2.c(2941) : fatal
error C1001: An internal error has occurred in the compiler.
(compiler file 'f:\dd\vctools\compiler\utc\src\p2\main.c', line 211)
 To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program near
the locations listed above.

baijfact2.o : fatal error LNK1136: invalid or corrupt file

I recommend either upgrading to the latest version, or if that does not
work, backing off the
optimization (you have -O2).

  Thanks,
