For I am using Linux system, is there still DCB file block problem?

No. That one I know for sure. DCBs are purely a DOS thing - ancient
versions of DOS at that. I don't think there are even DCB issues with
with any f90 compilers on Windows, but that part I could be wrong on. No
way that DCBs have anything to do with Linux.

I'm afraid I don't have any further constructive suggestions other than
the possibilities I mentioned before. Your numbers from another posting
all sure seem to indicate that you stop at about the same total size. I
have a hard time imagining that this is a coincidence. It would, of
course, also correspond to processing about the same total number of
records, and thus, for example, the same number of repetitions of
anything that might leak memory. Many things could be correlated with
the file size, but your numbers pretty convincingly support my thesis
that it is likely not related to the number of files. I didn't think it
was anyway, so maybe I'm just seeing my prior prejudices in the data -
but I don't think so.

(It should be "obvious" and I'd guess it was not your problem, but I've
seen it misssed before, so just in case... you aren't running out of
disk space are you?)
