Thank you very much for your response. Perhaps it is the case
that the compilers are able to assign the arrays properly, but
the bounds-checking code is not able to understand the older
syntax. It is true that without adding the bounds-checking code
the "cd 4096wat && ./Run.pure_wat_nmr_temp_reg" test passed
without any change to the nmr.f code. But it is a bit disturbing
to me that the bounds-checking code of both the Portland Group
pgf90 and the IBM xlf90 failed to deal with the syntax. And I
don't feel completely confident that the arrays are being
created correctly with these compilers. Anyhow, I can try to
make some simple test codes with the syntax and see what happens.

If I turn off bounds checking, on the Linux cluster (using pgf90),
all serial and parallel Amber10 tests passed. However, on the AIX
cluster if I turn off bounds checking all serial tests pass, but
rem_hybrid runs until completion, and generates incorrect results.
The potential energy turned out to be around -1450 instead of -615.

Any suggestions how I can troubleshoot what is going wrong in the
rem_hybrid test?

Thank you so much!
