Incorrect handling of failure for derived type instantiation

github.zip

On MacOS (Big Sur 11.2.1, with package list below, Python 3.9.1), I tried instantiating multiply nested arrays of derived types. Beyond a certain array size for one of the types, instantiation throws an error (edit: segfault). More details below, code attached.

To trigger the error, set
nfc = 20
(instead of 10) in common/src/bemt/Source/pyint_modules/precision.F90

Compile as follows (assuming you start at the main folder after unzipping)

1. cd cmake; mkdir build; cd build
2. FC=gfortran cmake ../../ && make -j

Run with
python3 driver.py in main folder

I've currently set my stack size limit with ulimit -s 65530 (cannot be unlimited on Mac, as far as I know)

Thanks for reporting. However, this is a huge amount of code. Please can you try to cut down to a minimal example which shows the problem? A single short fortran code + Python script would be ideal.
