It's definitely *supposed* to be; this is just the ex17 code that
builds a laplacian stiffness and L2 mass matrix, as you said.  I can
even switch from Q_1 quads to P_1 line segments, and as long as I use
at least 3 of them (4 nodes) I still get that IPNorm error.  Although,
tweaking the mesh does seem to change the stack trace; the IPNorm
starts coming from different calls to IPOrthogonalize, then from
EPSComputeVectors_Hermitian, as I shrink things.

I forgot to set_precision() on that, but you get the idea.

matrix_B is SPD. matrix_A isn't, but that just ought to mean that one
of our eigenvalues is 0, right?
