3.Solution
Applications containing more than 2 GB of static data should be built with
"-mcmodel medium -shared-intel" options.
In my application an huge array as following to hold all data needs is used.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTEGER, PARAMETER :: MAXNI = 360, #longtitude
& MAXNJ = 180, #latitude
& MAXNP = 50, #height
& MAXNT = 24, #hours
& MAXNV = 10, #variables

REAL :: meadia(MAXNI,MAXNJ,MAXNP,MAXNT, MAXNV) ! org conc
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The static array will be:
360×180×50×24×10×4(4bytes/real data type) = 3110,400,000bytes about 3.1G
After specified "-mcmodel medium -shared-intel" the compiler options, the error disappeared.

NOTE：
1)It seems that this error only occurs on AMD 64 CPU architecture. I successed compiling the same application on IA 64 CPU without getting an error.

2)The same error occurred even if specified the "-mcmodel medium -shared-intel" options. Check your sizes of all your static arrays again to make sure they are not too huge.
Theoretically you can not use a static array more than 4G in AMD/IA 32 CPU,
16G in AMD/IA 64 CPU.
