Perhaps I miss understood. I interpreted that to mean the matrix was provided with the correct preallocation information (and not the nonzero structure) but yes if the nonzero structure is already set then one can call MatZeroEntries() at that point. Perhaps we should "fix" MatZeroEntries()" to not screw up preallocation information!
