When the NCAR graphics library C routines are compiled with default option
"-64" on our SGI Power-Indigo-2 (R8000 CPU) gbytes() causes a core dump when
called from Fortran programs like tlocal in ncarg2d/src/bin/impltest/ . This
core dump goes away if all compilation is done with option "-32". The cause
is that addresses and longs become 8-byte values with "-64". Unfortunately
the NAG library is compiled with -64, and objects using differing address
length cannot be mixed.
The only fix I see if for C routines callable from Fortran to change all
their parameters from declarations of "long" to "int". The hard part is
to get a list of all C routines callable from Fortran, and all C routines
which call C routines callable from Fortran.
