Thanks for the fast answer !
The error coming from MUMPS is :
  On return from DMUMPS, INFOG(1)=              -9
  On return from DMUMPS, INFOG(2)=        29088157
The matrix size : 4972410*4972410
I need only 1 eigen value, the one near zero.
In order to have more precision, i put ncv at 500.
I'm using : -eps_gen_non_hermitian  -st_type sinvert -eps_target 0.1 
-eps_ncv 500 -eps_tol 1e-9 -bv_type vecs

I'm doing linear stability analysis. I'm looking at eigen values near 
zero, and if the first one is positive or negative.
The mass matrix is ill conditioned. On a smaller matrix, it seems that 
using KSP without a preconditioner gives satisfactory results. With a 
PC, it diverges.

  Number of iterations of the method: 1
  Number of linear iterations of the method: 1000
  Solution method: krylovschur

  Number of requested eigenvalues: 1
  Stopping condition: tol=1e-08, maxit=711
  Linear eigensolve converged (14 eigenpairs) due to CONVERGED_TOL; 
iterations 1

             k             ||Ax-kBx||/||kx||

        -0.001802             0.00274427
[...]

I'm trying that on the big one.

Thanks for your help,

Yann
