Okay, you are definitely getting an infinity in the output vector from the
LU solve, so you are giving it a singular matrix.
I am guessing this is B? How can you justify using a singular B?
Also, -st_pc_factor_shift_amount 1 is strange. You
would normally use a very small offset like 1.0e-10 or something.

  Thanks,
