Carlos,
Thank you very much. In fact you are right: there isn't any malloc call,
but just _gfortran_allocate_array ones (I updated the question on
stackoverflow.com accordingly).
I guess that _gfortran_allocate_array will call malloc, but of course I
do not know for sure (does anyone from the fortran list know?).
If this is the case, would it be possible to configure mtrace in order
to trace this indirect malloc calls?
Thanks again,
