If you are getting the above, then it seems the problem must have been
fixed between 4.1.0 and 4.2.0.

The 4.1.0 version was on a SGI Altix machine - which is IA-64.
No confusion there.

It is possible that on my home system, I have been confusing a
non-working cygwin version of gfortran with binaries generated
by g95.  G95 definately has problems with RECURSIVE vs PURE/ELEMENTAL.
And I am now seeing some sort of problems with gfortran and cygwin on
my machine...

Unfortunately I don't have time to investigate it right now.
Perhaps tonight.

Appreciating your interest!
