In reply to Stephan Waser's question about timeouts in 3L FORTRAN:

>   Does anyone out there know the reason for that behaviour and

In V2.0 of 3L Fortran, there was a problem with the _T library
subroutines which may be what you are coming up against.  This problem
was cleared in V2.1 of 3L Fortran, which is now the current version
being shipped to customers by 3L:  the best solution to your problem
would be to upgrade your compiler to the current version.  You can
contact your distributor about this or mail Support@ThreeL.CO.UK
