Re: PURE random curiosity

RANDOM_NUMBER is one of rare (only?) non-PURE intrinsics; thus, calling it from a user-written PURE procedure is illegal. If the compiler allows it, it seems that you have discovered a bug in it (btw, you seem to be doing well in this area recently :-)).

MVBITS is the only PURE intrinsic subroutine. I'll write up a bug report about the compiler not flagging calls to RANDOM_NUMBER (or any other non-PURE intrinsic.)
