Daniel,
   I have the impression that I saw something about gfortran
supporting this feature, but now the only reference I can find is this
post
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.fortran/msg/7c63fef65ba5ea70
which is not really conclusive. If reallocation is not supported at
all, then I see you point.

Cheers,
