Some fortp2 errors have straightforward meanings (e.g. ran out of space on
the device temporary files are being stored on), but others mean that fortp1
has done something wrong.  Unfortunately, the former aren't being reported
intelligibly as things stand, and, also unfortunately, some of the latter
may still exist.  I expect improvement in both areas.

Based on that number, you *may* have fallen afoul of a known bug involving
arithmetic IF statements in which all three statement numbers differ.

Please send in official bug reports--the vagaries of the net may keep us
from seeing stuff posted there, and the official setup makes sure that
nothing falls through the cracks.  (That's not to say you shouldn't post
to the net, but for reliable reporting, go to the folks who will make
sure we know about problems.)

(If you have CIS access, try GO MSC or GO MICROWARE for up-to-date info.)
