Another thought.
In your error handler you call MPI_Abort.
I think this is causing problem for my application.
In my application I use both real and complex versions of PETSc, so I 
initialize MPI myself, then initialize PETSC, then initialize libmesh.


Can I still have libmesh throwing exceptions (because it is useful to do 
checks), but not catch them inside the libmesh?
