Backtrace for this error: #0 0x146659050d3a #1 0x14665904fed5 #2 0x146658e7e20f #3 0x146658e7e18b #4 0x146658e5d858 #5 0x146658ec83ed #6 0x146658ed047b #7 0x146658ed20ec #8 0x55a871b8756c #9 0x55a871b8759c #10 0x55a871b875d5 #11 0x146658e5f0b2 #12 0x55a871b8711d #13 0xffffffffffffffff Aborted (core dumped) I think there is nothing wrong in the program. x1 and x2 are well defined. The error disappears if I replace the merge line with a simple x3 = x2. The error also disappears if I inline the content of the subroutine in the main program unit. Also, the program works with the Intel compiler.
