Typing "limit" at the shell (DECstation 3100 UWS 2.1) shows the following

csh> limit
cputime         unlimited
filesize        unlimited
datasize        85988 kbytes
stacksize       512 kbytes
coredumpsize    unlimited
memoryuse       12744 kbytes

So, why limit your stacksize ;-) ?

csh> limit  stacksize unlimited   .......(or, you can set your own limit like ...2048,4096, 8192, unlimited )

is the one  way to 'liberate' your Fortran program....unless something
weird is going on.
