`Initialization failed` error

[Turgon-Aran-Gondolin]

I ran into an Initialization failed error when I opened my project. The project file is on https://mcfm.fnal.gov/downloads/MCFM-8.3.tar.gz.

I was using the fortran intellisense extension of vscode, and the logs are as following:

Error while parsing file /path-to-MCFM/MCFM-8.3/TensorReduction/recur/Include/ShatC.f
Traceback (most recent call last):

As you can see, the error occurs when fortls was parsing a file called ShatC.f, but the file itself is only a bunch of definitions of ShatC (literally nothing else, no comments, no even declaration). The file look like this:

  Shat7(1,z6(1,1,1,1,1,1),ep) =
 &  - Bsum11111(ep)
 &  - 5.D0*Bsum1111(ep)
 &  - 10.D0*Bsum111(ep)
 &  - 10.D0*Bsum11(ep)
 &  - 5.D0*Bsum1(ep)
 &  - Bsum0(ep)
 &

  Shat7(2,z6(1,1,1,1,1,1),ep) =
 &  - Bsum11111(ep)
 &  - 5.D0*Bsum1111(ep)
 &  - 10.D0*Bsum111(ep)
 &  - 10.D0*Bsum11(ep)
 &  - 5.D0*Bsum1(ep)
 &  - Bsum0(ep)
 &  + Bv(bb111111 + B12,ep)
 &

  Shat7(1,z6(1,1,1,1,1,2),ep) =
 &  + Bsum11111(ep)
 &  + 4.D0*Bsum1111(ep)
 &  + 6.D0*Bsum111(ep)
 &  + 4.D0*Bsum11(ep)
 &  + Bsum1(ep)
 &

And it goes on. I can't figure out what went wrong.
