mod files not updated with rebuild

If you route the mod files to some non-standard directory (and maybe if you don't), then if they exist during a rebuild, they are not updated even though the interfaceshave changed.

Is the output for the modules set to go to this other directory? If you think there's a problem, please submit an example project to Intel Premier Support.

I'll do that. That interface checking is a very powerful capability and I'll be more than happy to help grease it up. While I'm at it, I'll try to capture a couple of other problems associated with .mod files, one of which is particularly annoying. At least sometimes, if you're compiling with interface checking and the compiler doesn't find an interface it needs in the mod library directory, fortcom/ifort hangs up and you have to zap it with Task Manager. Another one is that a bunch of mismatched interfaces appears to scramble the compiler error messages, producing errors that are incorrect and have nothing to do with the actual problem.

Yes, please do report these issues. I have seen the one about the hang before, under exactly that circumstance, but thought it had been fixed months ago. Perhaps another variant.
