I'm not sure what you mean by the last sentence, but I ran with -pc_type lu 
and the other options you suggested. Output is in 
http://paste.debian.net/688191/

I don't see anything wrong in it except it does not converge. :) And it 
settles in a weird oscillatory solution (looks almost like a sin()) whereas 
the real solution is 4*arctan(exp(x)).

Thanks for your help.
