[petsc-users] Memory leak in PetscRandom?

Hello,

when I run ksp/ksp/examples/tutorials/ex2 through valgrind with random exact vector enabled (-random_exact_sol) it shows some lost memory. Patrick Sanan discovered this playing around with random positions of multiple inclusions for ex43 but that is in a fork/branch of his. The part of the valgrind output concerning the memory loss for ex2 with -random_exact_sol is identical.

Cheers,
Sascha
