BUG: SPREAD() Intrinsic Function Application Error

• Microsoft FORTRAN PowerStation for Windows 95 and Windows NT, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use the SPREAD() intrinsic function to copy an array into an array one dimension larger, you may find that some large arrays cause the following application error at run-time:

Under Windows 95:

   This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
   If the problem persists, contact the program vendor.

   Details:

   <program> caused an invalid page fault in module <program.exe> at
   0137:004013d7

   The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The
   memory could not be "read".
