Adam,

Thanks for confirming its a gfortran-4.1 issue.

I have also tried the same configure line (and also a simple configure: ./configure --with-cc=gcc --with-fc=gfortran --download-f-blas-lapack --download-mpich)  on another cluster and got the same problem. I think the problem may be related to gfortran version Red Hat 4.1.2 (there is 4.1.2-14 on one cluster and 4.1.2-46 on another cluster). Another petsc user found ex14f to compile fine with red hat 4.4.6 gfortran.
