/*
   MatStashScatterGetMesg_Private - This function waits on the receives posted
   in the function MatStashScatterBegin_Private() and returns one message at
   a time to the calling function. If no messages are left, it indicates this
   by setting flg = 0, else it sets flg = 1.

   Input Parameters:
   stash - the stash

   Output Parameters:
   nvals - the number of entries in the current message.
   rows  - an array of row indices (or blocked indices) corresponding to the values
   cols  - an array of columnindices (or blocked indices) corresponding to the values
   vals  - the values
   flg   - 0 indicates no more message left, and the current call has no values associated.
           1 indicates that the current call successfully received a message, and the
             other output parameters nvals,rows,cols,vals are set appropriately.
