Since the problem occurs going from 32-bit to 64-bit Cygwin, it sounds
to me like all-the-world's-a-VAX syndrome. I bet there are places
where it reads from files and assumes that if it reads N words into
integers, that is N 32-bit quantities, or something like that. I
haven't written any Fortran since the 1980s, but I bet there are types
that have changed size due to the switch to 64-bit and that results in
reading incorrect values from files, including reading some of them
from the wrong file offsets, and hitting end-of-file at a different
point.

Are there any switches to gfortran that control this? I took a brief
look, and the only thing I saw was the -finteger-4-integer-8 option
and friends, but that sounds like going the opposite direction you
want to go, and the -ff2c option that generates C code. You could run
the code through g77 on 32-bit, gfortran on 64-bit, and compare the C
code generated for the file handling. But I suspect that's more hassle
than you want to get into; it doesn't sound like fun to me.

Good luck.
