Dear Stefano,
                       Many thanks for your response. I have just installed and run valgrind, and I get the output
pasted in below. I can see it seems to be reporting some kind of error, but I don't valgrind well enough
to know exactly where it is saying the problem is. Does this suggest the cause of the problem to you ?
     Many thanks once again,
                                         Dan.

As the error message says, use valgrind https://www.valgrind.org/ to catch these kind of issues

Dear All,
              I am getting a puzzling 'Segmentation Violation' error when I try to
write out an integer array using PetscIntView in a Fortran code. I have written the small
code below which reproduces the problem. All this code does is create
 a PetscInt array, initialise this array, then try to write it out to screen.
Interestingly PetscIntView does seem to correctly write out all the values to
the screen (which agree with a direct write), but then fails before it can return to
the main program (see output pasted in below).

I think I must be doing something quite silly, but just
can't quite see what it is! Any suggestions will be very welcome.
  Many thanks,
