I install abinitio from so named ports (ports is suite of contributed 
aplication on FreeBSD) and respectivelly my freedom "how to compiling" 
is limited by requirements of abinitio-port.
Sure I may compile abinitio manually and I will try to do this necessarily.

Yes (VMD for example)

Yes, but simply FreeBSD is more preferable OS for me. On other hand it 
is not important for me abinitio runs on which OS.

Excuse me please. I thought that is not bug but that is my problem 
simply. Thus I wrote my letter in free form

abinitio-4.3.3
processor - celeron
uname FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE
/usr/local/intel_fc_80/bin/ifort -V (Why difference between directory 
and version names take place? I dont know)
Intel(R) Fortran Compiler for 32-bit applications
Version 8.1 Build 20041118
Z Package ID: l_fc_pc_8.1.023
This package I receive in http://premier.intel.com/

Also I obtain (from private email) suggestion to disable optimization 
flags in compilator command string. Suddenly it has same results with 
the same error message.
Ordinarily I will try to build abinitio with more old version Fortran 
compiler and then - on Linux box

Thanks all for your attention.
