Which OP? The originator of the c.l.f thread or the originator of this bug report. I've cited passages from the F77 standard and F95 standards that explicitly state the issue raised in this PR is a non-issue. gfortran's current behavior correctly conforms to the standard. Please, don't unfix that behavior. As Tobias points out, attaching 2 or more unit numbers to the same file would open gfortran to race conditions. Jakub went through libgfortran to make it thread when he added the OpenMP code. You would need to paste in a layer of mutexes to properly lock/unlock access to files. I for one do not see the benefit of forcing a performance penalty on everyone to permit nonconforming code to compile. $0.02 PS: yes, the ASIS issue should be fixed. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38122
