Oops... at which line does your g++ complain if you don't include 
stdlib.h?

Well, as far as I understood this right now, the observed residual 
differences originate from these small matrix differences.  (Of 
course, my matrix is much larger, and a larger number of coefficients 
differ between different runs.)  This non-reproducibility complicates 
the check whether the ghosted vectors change the code behaviour a lot, 
because it is no longer clear what "change the behaviour" means.

Perhaps I should just run both the ghosted and the non-ghosted version 
of my application two times each and look whether the final results 
between ghosted/non-ghosted differ consderably more than within these 
groups.  Not really convincing, but the best thing I can think of. 
(Unfortunately, I deleted the results that I had from the runs some 
days ago since I thought of a bug...)

Best Regards,

Tim
