A friend of mine has written a program using the Lahey Fortran 32-bit compiler and their DOS-extender. When run on a Gateway 386 machine, the program runs fine. When run on either of two AST machines or a Compaq it sometimes dies. These deaths are inconsistent both by error and by time. Sometimes it is bad subscript. Sometimes it is stack overflow. Sometimes it is after 10 or 20 minutes. Sometimes after 8 hours. When the program does run to completion, the answers are usually correct, but once were wrong. So, my friend is looking for any ideas on how to investigate this problem. (I use Fortran, but on Suns and Crays.) I would assume an ordinary bug of some sort, except for the fact that it works fine on the Gateway machine. Any sugestions welcome, reasonable or not. I prefer E-mail, but will monitor these newsgroups. Summaries (and final result) available by request.
