No, the aborts are not frequent, or very infrequent: a lot 
of chances for file names, and that the program aborts in 
the precise point to no delete the 'scratch' files.

The files are forta52[0..9], forta52[a..z]

But they are not reused, they must be deleted manually (or 
using a CALL SYSTEM).

The following program shows the problem (well, I think it 
is not a problem if it can ve avoided easily)

      OPEN (UNIT=52,STATUS='SCRATCH')
      CALL SYSTEM('DIR G:\\USR\\TMP\\FORT*')
      READ(*,'()')
      STOP
      END

To test the program you must created all the forta???? 
files in tmp directory.
