[FLASH-USERS] Diffusion problem of angular magnetic field in one dimension

[Adam Reyes]

Hi Wang,

This revealed a small bug in the HYPRE solver for this problem. I'm
attaching a patch here.

You can copy it to the "FLASH4.7" directory and apply it with

> path -p1 < MagDiff.patch


Thanks for reporting the issue!
