Tim and FDSUser,

I have an application here that (at least in the eariler versions of IVF) consistently exhibited problems in OpenMP where I have in a subroutine

    subroutine foo(x)
    real(8) :: x
    real(8) :: TOSVX1(3), TOSVX2(3), TOSVX3(3)
    ...

That these local arrays are created as if SAVE were on the declaration. That is, the code generates a static copy of the TOSVXn(3) arrays. When adding AUTOMATIC

    real(8), automatic :: TOSVX1(3), TOSVX2(3), TOSVX3(3)

This forces the arrays to be allocate on the stack

When used without the automatic, the multiple threads overwrite each others data in the temporary arrays.

Whether it is a compiler bug or an options conflict, I could not ascertain, I do know that by including automatic that there is no ambeguity in my intentions as to if the arrays must be local.
