Howdy Denis!

Can you get the latest snapshot and try it? I cannot reproduce this error.

I have added a test nf_test/ftst_v2.F, which is a F77 program that uses the
code that you provide. (I had to add some.)

It works, with the enddef/redef calls (or with them). If you still encounter
this problem, can you take a look at ftst_v2.F and see if you can modify it so
that it fails in the same way? Then send me the new version of ftst_v2.F and I
will change the test and fix the bug, if any.

Thanks,

Ed
