I tried this with gfortran 4.20 too (the report file was indeed
created with 4.1, but the result with the newer version was quite the
same). It happens when I build version 5.6.1 of PLplot (http://plplot.sf.net)
using shared libraries. It does not when I disable the shared libraries
option.
As it is a rather complex building process - not what the user
has to do but what the software is doing (extensive use of autotools),
isolating the bug seems virtually impossible at the moment
