This turned out to be the existence of WRITE statements in one of the
fortran subroutines.  This seemed to result in an undefined symbol
which, when the .so file was created explicitly from a Makefile in the
package source directory, caused the crash.

I'll generate a test example and send it to R-bugs if it looks like
something could be done to help in this situation.
