Thanks for the immediate replies.

@Vijay : I look forward to the functionality in your patch! My work involves
setting
bound charges between dielectrics. I was in fact thinking about how I could
handle these interfaces ... I guess having surface_ids in a 3D mesh will
allow me to solve the problem.

@Dave : I am using r3510. Could the problem arise from the fact that ex1.C
uses the function mesh.read( ) .... is there something special that needs to
be done for Gmsh
meshes?

Regards
Arvind
