[MITgcm-support] ifort optimization puzzle

[Martin Losch]

Constantinos,

my full set of options is this:
ifort -132 -r8 -r4 -w95 -W0 -WB -O1 -align -tpp7 -xN -c find_rho.f
I tried to do it without the -xN flag, and yes, no vectorization and no 
problems. So the problem is indeed the vectorization. Sorry, for not 
reporting this detail (on /data4/mlosch/test1d.tgz you'll find all 
information necessary for reproducing my problem, including Makefiles 
and build option files, see my first email).
