Thanks for the information.  These messages came from cfortran.h,

 http://wwwasd.web.cern.ch/wwwasd/cernlib/cfortran.html

which we use for calling the C netCDF library from Fortran.

We did not develop and don't have the resources to maintain
cfortran.h, so we're hoping its developer or others in the open source
community continue to update it for new compilers and development
environments.  The next Fortran standard is supposed to include a
standard way to call C from Fortran, which will eliminate the
necessity for solutions like cfortran.h when/if everyone implements
the standard.  We'll keep incorporating the latest version of
cfortran.h in our netCDF distribution.
