I take it that you are compiling the code for yourself.  Do you intend 
to write and compile your own AIPS code?  What compiler are you using 
including what version?

I have just built 31DEC10 AIPS on a Mac 10.6 with Intel 11.1 and it did 
not have this problem.

Note that the binary release of AIPS outperforms compilations done by 
the GNU compiler.  If you are not developing your own Fortran code for 
AIPS, I would recommend the binary release.
