I assume so. That's what it sounds like to me. I also happen to agree  
that it should be equivalent. (See my post on comp.lang.fortran; I  
had missed the earlier parts of the discussion here, since there were  
about 200 messages in the list when I looked at it this morning for  
the first time since last Thursday).

Well, then they have a bug. That's completely independent of the  
question of what the bounds should be. There isn't even any  
"interesting" question about whether it is valid code (given either  
f2003 or the allocatable TR).
