Thomas,

The odd thing is that:
      implicit real*8 (a-h,o-z)
      character*32 ddname,dname
      character*4 :: c
      dname(c) =   'h810 e=0.01         '//c
      ddname=dname("w")
      print *, ddname
          END

works, whilst removing the "//c" produces the same failure as the original.

This works too:
      implicit real*8 (a-h,o-z)
      character*32 ddname,dname
      dname(x)=   'h810 e=0.01         '//foo(x)
      ddname=dname(42.0d0)
      print *, ddname
      contains
      character*12 function foo (x)
      real*8 :: x
      write (foo, "(e12.5)") x
      end function
      END

The ICE arises because the result string is not POINTER_TYPE_P in spite of line
trans-expr.c:3965
      tmp = gfc_build_addr_expr (build_pointer_type (type), tmp);

I don't see it at all, right now :-(
