Public bug reported:

The following code:
------
import PyTrilinos
from dolfin import *
parameters["linear_algebra_backend"] = "Epetra"

mesh = UnitSquare(2,1)
CG1 = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)
q, p = TestFunction(CG1), TrialFunction(CG1)
A = assemble(q*p*dx)

D = down_cast(A).mat()
#del A
print D
------
fails when "del A" is uncommented. (with the petsc backend it always fails, but that's another problem).

In cbc.block I work around this by creating a back-reference in the LA
object to its container, but this should not be necessary given that
shared_ptr is returned by mat().
