You're doing better than me, I just get a segfault... It seems that
something is seriously wrong with dyn.loading Fortran on RH6.2.
Upgrading the C/Fortran compilers to gcc 2.95.1 or newer seems to cure
it.

I'll be d**ned if I can figure out what is going wrong, but .so files
created with  2.95.1 work with R compiled with egcs-1.1.2 and .so
files created with egcs-1.1.2 cause segfaults when used with R
compiled with 2.95.1, so the problem is likely in the shared libraries
themselves.
