I vaguely remember seeing a problem like this before, but I don't know how
to find it in the archives. Can you tell us what compilers you are using
on the machine that fails (output from "gcc -v" and "gfortran -v" if you are
using GNU compilers)? Also, which version of Red Hat is it? Is this a serial
run? Are there lots of restaints (and this is the only bad one), or is what
you show the only restraint?

Maybe someone else on the list has a better memory than I do. (OK, I *know*
lots of people have better memories in general -- maybe someone will recognize
this symptom.)
