I was wondering, is it might be possible petsc_matric.C on line 72 (and perhaps

The matrix that is created in these lines is always quadratic 
(n_global*n_global). I guess, the second argument to MatCreateSeqAIJ should be
m_global instead of n_global.

Let me run this by libmesh-devel (Ben Kirk is the one who wrote that
code, and he surely understands it better than I do), but it looks to
me like you're right.  And since libMesh (and, I'd be willing to bet,
all its primary developers) only creates square sparse matrices, we'd
never have noticed a bug that breaks rectangular sparse matrix
creation.

I think you're right, especially considering the call to
MatCreateMPIAIJ a few lines below which does use m_global.

Nice catch!

And fix checked in.

The line 139 and 142 case isn't exactly a "bug", since in that
constructor we really do always want a square matrix, but I changed
them anyway to avoid confusing anyone in years to come.

Speaking of years: this looks like the oldest bug I've ever seen in
libMesh - it was in place in 2003 when the code first went into
version control!
