a(minloc(a(0:b,c)%d-1),c)%d returns array, not scalar

I'm using minloc to find the earliest solved state (the longer horizon
makes it more reliable). However, this gives me a scalar of rank and
dimension 1, rather than a scalar:

print *,shape((states(minloc(states(0:mydepth,trialnextk)%m-1),trialnextk)%m))

yields 1, rather than 0, preventing me from assigning it to a scalar.

I can feed it to maxval() or some such, I suppose, to turn it scalar,
but this seems silly enough that I'm pretty sure I'm missing something
basic . . .
