Hi All,

Okay here is a summary of the mopac problems on my machine

RHEL4, Intel Pentium-D x86_64

g77 (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-9)) - Suffers from the
problems discussed.

gfortran (gcc version 4.1.2 20070626 (Red Hat 4.1.2-14)) - Also suffers from
the same problem.

g95 (gcc version 4.0.3 (g95 0.92!)) - Gives a segfault very early on.

ifort (Version 10.1 Build 20070913 Package ID: l_fc_p_10.1.008) - Works
correctly (with extra output issues)

Using -O0 with g77 or gfortran does not fix things.

Trying to print the values of TIMITR, TIMES and DEBUG that control the
printing of all the extra info that appears in the ifort output fixes the
problem implying that there is some memory issue somewhere that is
scrambling things.

I will see if I can track down where the problems are - this is all due to
numerous memory stomping issues and missing variable initializations - mopac
6.0 is full these :-(.

All the best
Ross
