Hello Tobias,

  Sorry that I forgot to attach the file. It is attached here. I have greatly
reduced the number of the files - most in the program were not needed to
reproduce the problem. The error message remains the one I sent in the original
submittal.

  I currently have eight outstanding issues with Intel and a similar number
with PGI. I have a few with NAG, and this one with you. I could make it a
full-time job submitting bugs. But I don't have the time from my work to reduce
every problem, or to spend hours and hours trying to create a simple test case.

  In this particular case, I do not think you should have difficulty
reproducing the problem and determining its cause.

  Please don't hesitate to send me a message if something is still missing or
if you require additional information.

  Thanks for your efforts.

Yours,

Norm Clerman

  Permit me to add that the lack of deferred length, allocatable characters in
gfortran represents, for me, a major obstacle. The other three compilers I use
support them, and I use them in all but one of my major applications.

Hello,

  Thanks to everyone for following up on this. I was very used to seeing
messages that deferred length characters are not yet supported. Therefore, when
I saw the internal compiler error message, I thought it was caused by some
other problem. I see now that it is an existing one.

  I hope I did not seem too severe in my messages. I know many value the
development work being done on gfortran. (I recently attended a webinar given
by Prof. Damian Rouson on object-oriented scientific programming using modern
Fortran, and gfortran was the compiler used.)

  I am curious: How much does it cost to fix a specific bug? Is there a fixed
charge?

  I any case, I'll jump back into using gfortran whenever the current problems
are remedied. Before I added many modern Fortran features to my code, I
achieved some really impressive results using the compiler when I re-factored
one of my main applications using OpenMP.

  Enjoy your weekend.
