I don't know if it helps, but I see it too... 3.0.1 on Solaris 2.7.

gdb says that it is happening at l.2144 of eigen.f:

2142    C
2143                DO 760 J = M, EN
2144                   RA = RA + H(I,J) * H(J,NA)
2145                   SA = SA + H(I,J) * H(J,EN)
2146      760       CONTINUE
2147    C

J prints as 7289784 for me, which looks a bit weird since M and EN are
17 and 18 respectively. However, optimizers sometimes cause this sort
of thing.
