dear Andreas, dear all,
The code is quite long. It is a conjugate gradient algorithm to solve a
complex system.

I have noticed that when a do cycle is small, let's say
do i=1,3

enddo

the results are identical. If the cycle is big, let's say do i=1,20, the
results are different and the difference increase with the number of
iterations.

What do you think?



Diego
