That's not my obvious thought! :-) That kind of "this can't be real" behavior makes me think that maybe you have some sort of linking issue -- are there several objects getting linked together? Can you do a "make clean" and rebuild and does that help?



There is a step where a bunch of object files are put into an archive for linking, but I always remove all of the object files and archive file before doing a rebuild.


Another "obvious" thought to me is that perhapss you have a buffer overflow error in a stack or heap variable.


Similar to what Eddie posted, I tried compiling an executable with all checking turned on ( -C ) and when I do this and compile the code, the executable runs to completion without any problems.


If you leave the write statement out, I forget, what happens? Your program crashes? Where does it crash? What call is being made?


The program crashes with a:

forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred

  And in gdb it tells me where:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0x000000014d7fffff
0x00000001001fc8cd in for__get_s ()
(gdb) backtrace

#5  0x0000000100001467 in analyze () at analyze.f:50
#6  0x00000001000013e4 in main ()

The last two function calls originate from the Intel libraries itself.

The same code builds and run as a 32-bit executable. Everything I try to do to see if the problem is originating in the code causes the problem to go away. But I don't want to say it's a compiler bug until I show more conclusively that something stupid in the code is causing this.

The same code also compiles and runs fine (as a 32-bit or 64-bit executable) with gfortran and the Portland Compilers on Mac OS X.

  I'm simply at a loss as to what to try next.

  Thanks to everyone for their help so far.
