[petsc-users] Is this a bug? MatMultAdd_SeqBAIJ_11

[Daniel Stone]

I seem to have confirmed that making the change suggested by Lawrence fixes
things in our
case. Some alternate runs by a colleague that result in a blocksize 12
matrix also work
fine - I think in that case MAtMultAdd_SeqBAIJ_N must be being used as I
can't find
a blocksize 12 analogue.

Is there by any chance a setting somewhere that can tell petsc to override
the use of
blocksize specific routines like this and always go to, e.g.,
MatMultAdd_SeqBAIJ_N
etc? Might be useful as a short term fix.

Thanks,

Daniel
