[petsc-users] MAT_NEW_NONZERO_LOCATIONS working?

Thanks for the quick fix, I will test it and report back. 
I have another maybe related question, if MAT_NEW_NONZERO_LOCATIONS is true and let's say 1 new nonzero position is created it does not allocated 1 but several new nonzeros but only use 1. I think that is normal, right? But, at least as far as I understand the manual, a subsequent call of mat assemble  with 
MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY should compress out the unused allocations and release the memory, is this correct? If so, this did not work for me, even after doing 
MAT_FINAL_ASSEMBLY the unused nonzero allocations remain. Is this normal?

If MAT_NEW_NONZERO_LOCATIONS is set to false I get an error, if it is set to true the new nonzero element is inserted, if MAT_NEW_NONZERO_LOCATIONS is false and either MAT_NEW_NONZERO_LOCATION_ERR or MAT_NEW_NONZERO_ALLOCATION_ERR is set to false afterwards then the new nonzero is also created without an error, but if  MAT_NEW_NONZERO_LOCATIONS is set to false after MAT_NEW_NONZERO_LOCATION_ERR/MAT_NEW_NONZERO_ALLOCATION_ERR have been set to false I get an error again.

Is this option supposed to work or not?
