Issue #207 resolved

Prof Garth Wells created an issue 2014-01-21

NonlinearVariationalSolver has a parameter reset_jacobian, but it's ambiguous what this mean. It could mean recompute the Jacobian, but in practice it re-initialises the sparsity pattern. Resetting the sparsity screws up SNES, etc, because it creates/destroys underlying objects.
