That can't be true, because it isn't - my take on it is that ftnchek 
simply doesn't recognise the issues.

m is equivalenced to an item in common.  That makes `real a(m,n)' a 
declaration of an automatic array, which is a Fortran 90 beast (it 
didn't exist in Fortran 77)

However, to me it looks like a valid (though complicated) way to define 
such a thing.

Hope this helps,
