Yes, I can confirm that the missing real*8 in pimach is a "bug", even when it does not show up
in optimized compilations. One should insert

IMPLICIT REAL*8 (A-H,O-Z)

in function pimach (bottom of SRC_lapw0/fftpack_helpers.f file).

As L.Marks already pointed out, the "kurki.f problem is not really a bug (and should never cause problems,
as something is allowed in Fortran. However, it is certainly not "clean" and I'll change it.
