Thanks for reporting the problem and suggesting a fix.  I've forwarded
your note to Robert Pincus at SSEC, the developer of the Fortran 90
interface, for incorporation into the sources.  He may not have
access to a Cray for testing, so he may be contacting you to find out
details about the specific platform ...
