Dave, yes, we have experienced different results in different platforms, the problem was partly due to the different versions of gfortran installed across platforms, are you using the same version for all the platforms? Clearly, gfortran is undergoing rapid changes so that the results might vary a lot across versions. You might want to contact the developers should you find out a compiler bug.
