I'll let Roy comment in more detail about whether fem_system_ex1 has
regressed, but the differences you are seeing between today's output and
the web page documentation is likely due to the fact that my last couple of
Doxygen updates have not also updated the examples documentation pages
(which apparently date back to Oct 22, 2014!).  I'll add an issue to help
remind me to look at this.
