Well, do You really have a library manager with a script command? Mine
doesn't have one. At least it is not documented. There is a serious bug
in the compiler (version 2.3):

If You want to use a common block only in some subroutines You have to
declare it in Your main program. Otherwise You will get unpredictable
results. This is the only Fortran compiler I have used which behaves
this way (and I have been writing Fortran programs on many systems).
