xplor-nih gfortran build problem

[Jack Howarth]

Asher,
    Well I was referring to the cray-pointer patch in general as that is
where we are getting the support for the LOC call in gfortran. If I recall
correctly, you had gotten access to the xplor-nih source yourself. Could
you try building xplor-nih 2.14 with gfortran? You will find that the
xrama.inp test always fails when xrama.f is compiled any optimization
greater than -O0. The xrama.f code has a nested set of calls which pass
heap pointers as their parameters. I tried running the code through the
guardmalloc library and it doesn't trigger anything. However I know
heap corruption must be going on since simple actions like adding
write statements in the middle of the xrama.f routines can dramatically
change the results.
