Intel Fortran character pointer corruption when enabling OpenMP

[Michel_M_]

I'm working on Intel Fortran compatibility for a fairly large code (weather prediction model). On Intel Fortran (and only Intel Fortran) some character data seems to get scrambled looping through and point character pointers to it. The characters I end up with only contains 0 and 9. The character string c simply has "00:00:00:16 (whitespace padding....)" as its content.

I was able to reproduce the issue to come up whenever I include any (dead) OpenMP code anduse -fopenmp compiler flag. I'm a bit lost at what's going on here. Please see the reproducer attached in this post. 

^{Expected Output:} 

 testprint-2

 00:00:00:16                                                                    

 testprint-3.10

 testprint-3.20

 testprint-3.3:

 testprint-3.46

Actual Output:

 testprint-2

 00:00:00:16                                                                    

 testprint-3.10

 testprint-3.20

 testprint-3.30

 testprint-3.40
