Ok, here is an update: 

GCC 4.3.0      4.3.1     4.4-20080822      Intel 10.1.015      XLF 10.1
compiles        fails      fails              compiles         compiles 

These results look suspicious, and given the nature of the error message
I am getting they point to module handling. It is possible (though not
certain) that this is a gfortran bug. 

Given that the program this comes from is very complex with lots of
dependencies, is there anything sensible to be tried before biting the
bullet and trimming the code down to one page (which is likely to take a
while)? What changes were made between 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 in this area? 

Before you ask, I cannot use 4.2.{3,4} because I get an ICE in
fold_convert in a support library (and I understand chances of much
effort being spent on 4.2 are slim; if this is not the case I'll be
happy to report the ICE as well).

Thanks for any suggestions.
Salvatore
