Hi,

I started a thread on disc...@mpich.org regarding some hanging canceled
jobs that we were seeing:

https://lists.mpich.org/pipermail/discuss/2020-April/005910.html

It turns out that there are some fairly strict rules about what types of
functions (asynchronous-safe only) can be called from signal handlers, and
MPI_Abort(), at least the mpich implementation of it, apparently does not
fall into that category. I wonder if you have any comments on this. One
possibility might be might be to just call "_exit" from
PetscSignalHandlerDefault rather than PETSCABORT, not sure what other
issues that would cause, however.

Thanks,
John
