Module variable visible even though not USE'd

I have 100's of modules, all in one file, ALLMODU.FOR

I USE only the modules I need, however I can "see" in the debugger variables in other modules. Why / how is this possible? eg. I have a allocatable array called SNAME in a new module called PVT_MODULE which I check is unallocated before I allocate it. However when I step into this code, SNAME is already allocated. It turns out there is another variable called SNAME in another module I am not USEing. I'm confused why this one is being refered to, not the one in my new module.

Well, all the debug information is combined in the object file. but the debugger ought to keep these distinct. Can you show us a small test case that demonstrates the pronblem?

I tried but it works fine in my small test case. In the meantime I renamed the variable in my module, although it's disconcerting that variables in unUSEd modules make it into the subroutine.
