Stack overflow with array operations (CVF and DLL)

Hello,

we encountered the following problem in a DLL compiled with CVF 6.6C on
Windows:

whil executing code like the following:

     real, dimension(:), pointer :: array_new, array_old

     old_size = .... (the filled part of the array)
     new_size = 1.1 * old_size
     allocate(array_new(1:new_size)
     array_new(1:old_size) = array_old(1:old_size)

the program crashed with a stack overflow (when old_size is around
10000)

If we replace the array operation by an explicit do-loop, all goes well.

Does anyone know how to prevent such a stack overflow from happening?
Both arrays are allocated, so there is no apparent reason for this
to happen.

Regards,

Arjen
