In the following program, env%n should be equal to zero when entering the routine "titi" but one gets the output :
10 0 5 10 instead of 10 0 5 0 as if the local variable "env" was declared "save" within "titi". Notice that the bug disappears if the allocatable array "a" is deleted in the definition of "env_type" : so the presence of an allocatable element within a derived type seems to be related to that bug.
