In fortran one may use an asterisk if the size of an array is unknown. However when evaluating the array gdb crashes. To illustrate this I have made the following program. The session below illustrate what goes wrong. I hope you can reproduce the error and fix the pro- gram. Greetings Jeroen Makkinje (gdb) list test.f:1 1 PROGRAM TEST 2 Double Precision Av, X(10) 3 Integer I 4 Do 10 i = 1, 10 5 X(i) = 1.0D0 * i 6 10 Continue 7 Call CalcAv(Av, X,10) 8 print *, Av 9 End 10 (gdb) list 11 Subroutine CalcAv(Aver, xrange, j) 12 integer j 13 double precision Aver, xrange(*) 14 Aver = 0.0D0 15 Do 10 i = 1, j 16 Aver = Aver + xrange(i) 17 10 Continue 18 Aver = Aver / j 19 Return 20 End (gdb) break 16 Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048f44: file test.f, line 16.

When accidently moving the mouse cursor over such so-called "assumed size array" the gdb compiler crashes by ddd issues a output * command.
