I have another problem with Ultrix 4.0 and Fortran V2.1 (also with 2.0).
Some programs, fortunately benchmarks, compiled with Fortran 2 run
forever. There are at least 2 or 3 such programs in the benchmark suite.
Under Ultrix 3.1 and Fortran V1 there were no problems, Fortran version
of whetstone ran in about 7 seconds on DECstation 5000.
The Ultrix V3 & Fortran V1 compiled version of a.out ran well
under V4.0 (about 7 seconds).
Well, let's test the new compiler with benchmarks to see if it's
better, thinks me and gets a bunch of forever running programs.
Fortunately the benchmarks are the only bad programs.
But obviously there are bugs somewhere...
Local Digital Ultrix specialist has been aware of this now
over a month. Why doesn't she call me?
