Hello,

I noticed that the neumann-poisson demo
(http://fenicsproject.org/documentation/dolfin/1.3.0/python/demo/documented/neumann-poisson/python/documentation.html)
fails when using a different solver, e.g. when replacing

solve(a == L, w)

with

solve(a == L, w,
      solver_parameters = {'linear_solver': 'cg',
                           'preconditioner': 'ilu'})

The error that I'm getting with FEniCS 1.3 is:

$ python demo_neumann-poisson.py
Solving linear variational problem.
  Solving linear system of size 4226 x 4226 (PETSc Krylov solver).
