Modules files size increase by factor of 10!

I have a file which is defined to be a module. Within the module are several interface definitions. When I compile this under the 7.1 compiler the size of the module file created is approximately 5.8MB. When I compile this same file using the Intel 9.1 compiler (20070510Z) with the 9.1 MKL, the size of the file grows to 58MB. There were no changes in the code nor to any of the compiler options.

Does anyone have any idea why the dramatic increase in the size of the file?

I will be happy to provide as much additional information as I can to help in solving this mystery.

Thank you.

Please use a current, supported compiler. Version 11 is current.

The compiler implementation changed significantly between version 7 and 8. I know at one point mod files were very large but got slimmed down.
