I don't know yet if the latest gdb-version will like the fortran on 
our computer. Therefore it may be better to write an interface for 
dbx instead of using gdb. The support people from the super-computer 
are working on the latest gdb-installation. Maybe tomorrow I can try 
that version with our f90-compiler.
