Use of an optional kind parameter on a call to the intrinsic size was added in Fortran 2003, and is essential to avoid overflow when dealing with arrays bigger than huge(0). The following example provides test code and demonstrates this. gfortran should warn that this is non-standard fortran 90/95 and fail gracefully, and/or work as per the F2003 spec.
