Manav, I downloaded your petsc_mat.tgz but could not reproduce the problem, on both Linux and Mac. I used the petsc commit id df0e4300 you mentioned. On Linux, I have openmpi-4.0.2 + gcc-8.3.0, and petsc is configured --with-debugging --with-cc=mpicc --with-cxx=mpicxx --with-fc=mpifort --COPTFLAGS="-g -O0" --FOPTFLAGS="-g -O0" --CXXOPTFLAGS="-g -O0" --PETSC_ARCH=linux-host-dbg On Mac, I have mpich-3.3.1 + clang-11.0.0-apple, and petsc is configured --with-debugging=1 --with-cc=mpicc --with-cxx=mpicxx --with-fc=mpifort --with-ctable=0 COPTFLAGS="-O0 -g" CXXOPTFLAGS="-O0 -g" PETSC_ARCH=mac-clang-dbg
