Robert,

re: try building McIDAS with gcc/f2c to see if FRMOLAY and IMGOLAY will
work

Yesterday afternoon, I found a machine that exhibited the same problem
you are reporting.  This means that I now have a platform on which I
can troubleshoot the problem and come up with a fix.  I will get back
to you when I find out what is going on.  My initial inclination is
that some character array is misdimensioned.
