It's not a compiler bug, but rather a bug in the IMSL declarations. VNI had
described all character string arguments as:

character, dimension(*) :: title

rather than

character(*) :: title

In older versions of CVF, this worked, but when we fixed the compiler in CVF
6.6B to diagnose the error of passing a scalar to an array argument, then it
stopped working. James' suggestion is a fine workaround.

I convinced VNI to correct this for the newer version of IMSL included in
Intel Visual Fortran Professional Edition. The program builds fine with Intel
Visual Fortran, once I make the minor source edits required by IMSL 5.0
(replace USE IMSL with USE NUMERICAL_LIBRARIES and add an INCLUDE line to
bring in the appropriate library directives (or specify the libraries
explicitly).
