The error message

  ERROR 1 IN PLCHHQ - INTERNAL LOGIC ERROR (NDGU = 0) - SEE CONSULTANT
 
(which was mentioned in a previous message) should be awfully difficult to
get. (It's one of those cases where you know, because of the logic of a
program, that a particular thing can't happen, but because, if it did happen,
the result would be total chaos, you test for it and, somehow, it happens.)
Basically, what the error message says is that the compiled and loaded code
is behaving in a totally irrational manner and it's impossible to guess what
the underlying cause might be. It's almost as bad as this:

    I=1
    J=2
    IF (I+J.NE.3) THEN
      SOMETHING'S REALLY, REALLY WRONG ... TAKE THE NEAREST EXIT ...
    END IF

Given access to the user's machine, I might be able to figure out what's
going on, but ...

If I can think of an experiment that would shed light on what's happening,
I'll send it along.

Maybe more later ...
