Sorry, I misread your email. I thought you were saying that it only handles dof 
= 1 fine. Sure I will send you the code. However, the code has some other 
dependencies. Let me remove those and send it to you in one file. Thanks a lot.

  Use a stencil width of 1, not 4. The stencil width is defined in terms of dof.

  No it handles dof > 1 fine.

  Send your code.
