This works fine for me. Are you using the optimizer on this code? There
are some serious optimizer bugs that got fixed in 5.04 (which is due
out RSN according to Jtoebes at a recent BADGE meeting) and to get the
update will require that you call Lattice and ask for it. 

Can you at least give compiler switches you used and maybe make a small
test case that demonstrates the problem ?

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
