Internal compiler error, code 3

[benh]

Does anyone have a clue what this might mean? Unfortunately I cannot supply the source code that produces it, but basically what happens is that my fellow programmers update the Fortran code using CVF6.6, while I'm experimenting with migrating this to IVF8.1.

The following is an excerpt from the build log produced by Studio.NET showing the command line and its error message:

It means exactly what it says - the compiler had an internal error and that you should report it to Intel (through Intel Premier Support.) Please be sure to attach sufficient sources to demonstrate the problem. Without an analysis of the specific source, there's no further advice that can be offered.
