[petsc-users] Segmentation fault inside PETSc

[Smith, Barry F.]

   This is not expected. To eliminate some problem with the MPI I would first select a new PETSC_ARCH value say arch-mpich and do a 
./configure --download-mpich ....  if you do not get a problem then the problem is due to OpenMPI if you get a problem it is likely due to PETSc or your code.
