It is known that deferred character length components do not work - they have
not been implemented. I think we really should add a gfc_error("Sorry not
implemented") as it is not the first such bug has been reported.
* * *
By the way, the documentation states this - albeit a bit hidden:
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.6/changes.html#fortran
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran#GCC4.6
"Deferred type parameter: For scalar allocatable and pointer variables
the character length can be deferred."
(In particular: For components and for arrays, the length cannot be deferred.)
And a bit more explicitly:
