There is nothing gfortran can do for you.  You have a
REAL array with 1024**3 elements.  You specifically 
asked gfortran to set ever element of that array to some
value.  gfortran tried to honor your request.  gfortran did
not crash.  Your OS intervened and killed the process,
because you exhausted available memory.
