No, it does not. You are invoking processor dependent behavior. Whatever results is correct. > It's wasted a lot of my time and, no doubt, a lot of other, good peoples' > too.

You're only person in the 6 year history of gfortran to whine about it. If anything, you're wasting the time of the gfortran developers. You know, those good people that have actually given the option of of a free Fortran compiler. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18985
