I breifly looked at the code path with gdb. It seems to be a problem with populating the first array. This fails integer, parameter :: n = 5 character(kind=c_char), parameter :: s(n) = 'a' type b character(kind=c_char) :: t(n) = transfer(s, s,) end type b because the scalar 'a' is not broadcasted over the array. If one replaces the s(n) line with character(kind=c_char), parameter :: s(n) = ['a', 'a', 'a', 'a', 'a'] then everything appears to work. I haven't had time to look at this any further.
