Let's look at the first one:
0 SNES Function norm 1.465357113711e+01
1 SNES Function norm 1.131764004094e+02
Nonlinear solve converged due to CONVERGED_ITS iterations 1
This is not usually what we mean by convergence. The SNES has been told,
using -snes_type ksponly,
to take only one step, but it still has a huge residual. In fact, the
residual is growing. This suggests the
system is not actually being solved.
Thanks,
Matt
