  Because the local column indices may not be set "in order" it doesn't mean for sure that it thinks there are only 4 column slots available, it could
be it filled up column slots with local columns larger than 5 and hence used up all the available space.

  Unfortunately we don't have any code in place to display what is happening when the error occurs. So I suggest the following. 

  Stop putting in values just before the first problematic value. 

  At that point in your code call MatAssemblyBegin/End() 

  Then call MatView() 

  This will show you what columns have been filled up in each local matrix and can help you determine if either 

  1) some other column entries are getting in there that you didn't expect.  or

  2) somehow the preallocation is not properly being determined and is smaller than you expect. 

Good luck,
 
  Barry
