I can confirm that. The same problem happens to me, even though with mumps and 
metis obtained from official site this doesn't happen.

Subject: [petsc-dev] Problem with MUMPS+metis
Date: Mon, Feb 20, 2012 18:48
When I run MUMPS in parallel with parmetis ordering (icntl(28)=2, icntl(29)=2), 
everything seems to work fine.? However, if I try to run it serially it reverts 
back to metis ordering and seems to get caught in some kind of infinite 
recursion.? I've run it through valgrind and attached the output.? Also I 
attached it to a debugger and the stack is enormous when it hangs, something 
like 10,000 frames deep.? You can sort of see that from the valgrind output 
towards the end.



My question is: who do you suspect to be at fault here?? Is it a bug in MUMPS, 
metis, or PETSc?? My suspicion is MUMPS.? This is with the PETSc-automatically 
compiled MUMPS, metis, and parmetis, retrieved today.



Thanks,
John
