The above warning are undoubtably due to the fact that the array
argument to the NCVGT family of routines can be of any type and the
"ftest.f" program tries all types.  This is a feature and not a bug.
The compiler is just being overly cautious in this case.

It's only a warning and shouldn't cause the problem you're experiencing.
