I reproduced this with PGI 17.4 community edition on Linux with your
Fortran test and an equivalent C one.

GDB indicates the SEGV happens here:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
MPID_nem_init (pg_rank=0, pg_p=0x60fce0, has_parent=8388607) at
../src/mpid/ch3/channels/nemesis/src/mpid_nem_init.c:305
305 MPID_nem_queue_enqueue(MPID_nem_mem_region.FreeQ[pg_rank],
&(MPID_nem_mem_region.Elements[idx]));
