1. nagfor Release 7.1(Hanzomon) Build 7149 released on March 5, 2024, fixed all the bugs spotted, but introduced an ICE when compiling PRIMA ( http://www.libprima.net ). The ICE has nothing to do with half-precision real, because it occurs when PRIMA is configured to use single or double precision. It can be reproduced by

```

git clone https://github.com/libprima/prima.git && cd prima && git checkout ec42cb0 && cd fortran/examples/lincoa && make ntest

```

2. nagfor 7.2 released on 6 March, 2024 included neither the ICE nor the fixes for the bugs.


How surprising that they release a product that contains so many bugs. Very impressive that all of them come with a small an nice reproducing example.
