This must come from the Amber10 tests, not the Amber_Tools test. It is a
known problem with some versions of gfortran. Until now, we had only thought
it appeared with gfortran 4.1.2, and someone had reported that later versions
of gfortran did not have the problem. It now appears that gfortran 4.3.0
(from Gentoo, at least) has the same problem.

One suggestion is to use g95, which is what we have much more experience with.
The gfortran compiler has got a lot better recently, but still seems to have
trouble with some sorts of code. Of course, it could be a but in our code,
and someone will have to try to track this down.
