I have had similar problems. My converted fortran program is so old that
it uses a minimum of memory, and uses a temporary file for storage. This
should work fast with the disc-caching programs of today. Although the
converted program can not read what itself wrote on the disk.
If I use Microsoft fortran the program works perfectly. I have not solved
the problem, and will probably not find the time to do so either. (We have
a Unix box that can run the program fast and well.)
The closest (?) I got is that something in the way Microsoft / f2c treats
bogus carriage control characters e.g. $ and so on is different from
Microsoft fortran, and other fortran compilers that I have used.
