--- Comment #4 from Jerry DeLisle <jvdelisle at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-02-15 17:08:51 UTC --- I have been working on this one. The order of the lines within the namelist file can cause the error to go away. I have also found that the read of the character string acutally completes OK. Its an elusive bug, but I am still working to isolate it. I o think we are leaving the chracer read in a wrong state. I will see if I can map it out.
