Hi there.

A first post from me so hello to you all.
I've got a question to ask.

Can someone here think of a reason why a command such as
"write(6,*) 'some words'"
in Fortran 77 would change the final numerical output of a programme?

I suspect it might be because of some irregular allocation of variables,
which means that during the time necessary to send 'some words' to the
screen the content of the variable has actually changed. Does it sound
like a reasonable explanation? Or can you think of another one?

That being said I can see nothing wrong in my commons or function
variables that would explain an illegal memory allocation but maybe I
didn't look hard enough. :/

Cheers.
