We're looking into the possibility that it's a bad node in our cluster.
 Here's another core dump from a different place:



Program terminated with signal 7, Bus error.
#0  libMesh::Quad::n_vertices (this=0x2aabc0c0bcc0) at
./include/libmesh/face_quad.h:80
80  unsigned int n_vertices() const { return 4; }

(gdb) where
#0  libMesh::Quad::n_vertices (this=0x2aabc0c0bcc0) at
./include/libmesh/face_quad.h:80
#1  0x00002ab19fe62334 in libMesh::Elem::hmax (this=0x2aabc0c0bcc0) at
src/geom/elem.C:367
#2  0x00002ab19fc4ca5b in
libMesh::KellyErrorEstimator::internal_side_integration
(this=0x2aabc04eb160) at src/error_estimation/kelly_error_estimator.C:93
#3  0x00002ab19fc49730 in libMesh::JumpErrorEstimator::estimate_error
(this=0x2aabc04eb160, system=..., error_per_cell=..., solution_vector=0x0,
estimate_parent_error=false) at src/error_


Notice that it's always a signal 7, Bus error..... how could "return 4"
ever not work?
