------- Comment #5 from ek dot kato at gmail dot com 2007-11-30 02:39 ------- Maybe I could find a reliable testcase for the problem. Following program will crash while accessing dtp->u.p.line_buffer[dtp->u.p.item_count].
IMPLICIT NONE CHARACTER(len=10), DIMENSION(2) :: var NAMELIST /inx/ var OPEN(unit=11, status='scratch') write (11, *) "&INX" write (11, *) "var(1)='hello'" write (11, *) "&END" rewind (11) READ(11,NML=inx) CLOSE(11) END Here is the backtrace.
