Fortran assumed-shape array problems with MPI

Hi, I am using fortran 90 (PGI) with MPI (mpif90) and I faced a
situation that a scalar argument is passed to the subroutine that
declares the dummy argument as 4-dimensional assumed-shape array.

After searching in the web quite a bit, I found in the ANL webpage
http://www.mpi-forum.org/docs/mpi-20-html/node236.htm
that there are well-known inconsistencies of MPI with fortran 90, and
the assumed-shape array problem is one of them.

Does anybody know a practical solution to this problem other than
just not using the assumed-shape array (making it all explicit-shaped
by passing the bounds together) ?
