   Please send the command line options you use and all the output with the error message. We would like for it to never crash with a segfault but rather for it to return a very useful error message if your syntax is wrong.

From the source, it looks like a wrapper for PetscObjectViewFromOptions, but I still don't see all the format specifications.  I'd like to test whether the same code crashes for other formats, like binary, matlab, etc.
