Hello:
    So I'm a bit of a newbie, but I am trying to adapt example 13 to 
isotropic/nematic liquid crystal phase transition model that I have been 
using Comsol to solve for a while now.  I think I've made some decent 
progress, but I have a bit of a problem when I run the code I get:

*** Solving time step 0, time = 1e-07 ***
ERROR:  LASPACK Error:
in ILUFactor for Mat:
Factorization produces zero pivot elements.
[0] src/numerics/laspack_linear_solver.C, line 276, compiled Apr 21 2008 
at 14:01:19
Aborted

Basically I added my expressions for the residual and Jacobian and 
removed all of the boundary condition code because I need to impose 
Neuman BCs (which from what I understand is implicitely taken care of by 
the FEM algorithm).  I initialized t=0 with an acceptable solution to 
the equations, so I just expected some smooth sailing...

I'll keep debugging of course, but I just wanted to through the error 
out there in case it has to do with my understanding of how to implement 
Neuman conditions.

I am also wondering about DiffSystem, should I just scrap my work with 
ex13 and start with DiffSystem?
