Well, we never tested the GCC suite as it apparently can't cope with
some Fortran 2003 features we have now in the code...

Hard to say. The dummy arguments in initgrids() where your log indicates
the address 0x0 are OPTIONAL arguments, which may or may not be present
when the routine are called. So, those not having a proper memory
address should not make the code crash.

Could you please try to compile the code with the ifort 12.1 compiler or
a recent NAG compiler? They are the one which shouldn't have problems
with it. Alternatively, if you do not have access to those compilers,
you can send me a self contained input, then at least I can check what
our version of the code does with it.

  Best regards,

  Bálint


Ps. Actually, the released code indeed has a bug (I'll put on the new
sources today), but that occurs only during MD simulations at the first
geometry step if at all.
