Well, Get_DRO() is exactly the same in the old and new code, and they
start with the same initial values. Get_DRO() is not producing strange
values, it is crashing because it get strange values fed into it.
A normal run for the formfunction f(in,out) in TS would look something
like this if printed:
in=25560 <- Start value
out=0.0001 <- du/dt
in=25560 <- Value fed into formfunction after some TS magic
out=0.0001 <- du/dt
... <- (a couple iterations)
in=25451 <- Input value after a couple of iterations
out=0.0001 <- du/dt
in=0.23151 <- Value fed into formfunction decided by TS
Petscerror divide by zero...
The problem seems to be that TS decides that the input values to
formfunction should be (in this case) 0.23151 which makes Get_DRO()
crash because of for example sqrt(in-1).
I have no idea how to fix this. The values from Get_DRO() in TS match
the values when running the old rk code.
