I tried to reproduce this but only getting rid of the FORTRAN output
made the error go away. Eliminating TEX output did not seem to have
any effect.

I think the problem might be that the FORTRAN output does not like to
deal with very long equations. Maybe it is a buffer problem or some
bug in the code that handles equations. (How should something of type
Equation be rendered in FORTRAN anyway?)

It works if I only generate FORTRAN code for the left hand side. E.g.

differentialequation := A1*differentiate(D2,x) +
B1*differentiate(D2,y) + C1*differentiate(D2,z) +
A2*differentiate(D1,x) + B2*differentiate(D1,y) +
C2*differentiate(D1,z) - C3 -  differentiate(D3,x,2) -
differentiate(D3,y,2) - differentiate(D3,z,2) = 0;
lhs(differentialequation)
