Robert,

I have successfully used IMGOLAY and FRMOLAY built the gcc/g77 compiler
combination on an Ultra 10 since sometime in June.  The difference
in our systems may well be the version of gcc/g77 and/or the verison
of Solaris.  I built using gcc v2.95.3 20010315, g77 v0.5.25 20010315
on Solaris 2.6.  The machine I built/ran on was just recently upgraded
to an E450 running Solaris 9, but the gcc and g77 have not (yet) been
upgraded.

Can you provide the version of the OS, gcc, and g77 you are running?
This might help us pinpoint the difference in our environments.

I have seen these errors in the past, but I can't remember in what context
at the moment.  Perhaps running with the DEV=CCC keyword sequence will
provide additional insight.

I will try running the FRMOLAY test when I get into the office on Monday
to see if I can recreate your problem.
