+#The purpose of this test is to test the loadstep predictor.  This is a very
+#small, monotonically loaded block of material.  If things are working right,
+#the predictor should come very close to exactly nailing the solution on steps
+#after the first step.  Because of nonlinear geometry, the predictor is slightly
+#off in general, but that is mitigated by setting this up so that the elements
+#undergo no rotations.
+
+#This test checks to see that the predictor is skipped in the last step.
