Greetings Fred. After looking at this for more hours than I'd care to admit, I'm wondering if this is a bug in gfortran. I can replicate your problem with a simple program on gfortran 4.1 on RHEL 5.4, but it doesn't happen with the Intel Fortran compiler (11.1) or the PGI fortran compiler (10.0).
One of the issues appears how to determine how Fortran 2d CHARACTER arrays are terminated. I can't figure out how gfortran is terminating them -- but intel and PGI both terminate them by having an empty string at the end. Are you using gfortran 4.1, perchance?
