​OK, this is very helpful (and not totally clear from the "Why is Newton's
method not converging" FAQ at this address:
https://scicomp.stackexchange.com/questions/30/why-is-newtons-method-not-converging.
Here's the output, using the intermediate grid and the options -snes_type
newtonls -snes_monitor -ksp_monitor -ksp_monitor_true_residual
-ksp_converged_reason -snes_converged_reason -pc_type lu
