I think that's the wrong solution to the problem: I think it makes more 
sense to fix the handling for OMP workshare to handle BLOCK correctly 
rather than to move the variable to the function scope and then to 
fiddle with the private attribute. (By the way, an interesting question 
would be how the next [4.0] (or a next) OpenMP version will handle 
Fortran 2003 and 2008 features.)
