Hi Matt, This is a trace from the same crash, but with `-checkstack` included in .petscrc : https://gist.github.com/s-sajid-ali/455b3982d47a31bff9e7ee211dd43991
I don't see any additional information regarding the possible cause.

It will not prevent a crash. The output is intended to show us where the stack problem originates. Can you send the output?

The first error (as indicated by ASAN) occurs somewhere before the 40th call to KSP_Solve (part of what the application marks as turn 10 of the propagator). The crash finally occurs on the 43rd call to KSP_solve. Looking at the trace, it appears that stack handling is messed up and eventually it causes the crash. This can happen when PetscFunctionBegin is not matched up with PetscFunctionReturn.

Yes, I have also seen this. What happens is that we have a memory error. The error is reported inside PetscMallocValidate() using PetscErrorPrintf, which eventually calls PetscCallMPI, which calls PetscMallocValidate again, which fails. We need to remove all error checking from the prints inside Validate. Thanks, Matt PS: I'm using a arm64 mac, so I don't have access to valgrind.
