Max:

We don't have the Microsoft Fortran Powerstation, so we probably won't
be able to duplicate the problem. I imagine that there is some
overoptimization going on which does not work across the FORTRAN to
C transition.

The FORTRAN jackets are very 'thin'; there is not much computation
going on in the modules in the fortran subdirectory.
So, there is not much benefit from optimizing them.
ou could try building the "release" (optimized) version in libsrc directory
and the debug version in the fortran directory. This will probably work around
your problem without noticable performance degradation.
