reshape_array() is called again for the same device.
Do not allow for such execution and check if last reshaped array is not
the current one.
This patch can be treat not as solution, but it allows for such errors
detection.

Hi Adam.
 I'm afraid I understand the problem that requires this patch.
Could you please outline how it can happen that "reshape_array() can exit
without error (e.g. Grow.c:1915) and reshape is not moved to next array."

Also the comment in the code seems to be incomplete.  Could you complete it
please?
Thanks.

The other 2 patches in the series are fine.

Thanks,
NeilBrown
