Hi,

I just tried this on an AIX computer (4.3.2, also gcc + f77, R-1.0.0).
The same "error" comes up -- xmalloc complains.  This is somewhat
cosmetic as the data is fine so it may not be very high on the
priority list.
Anyways, let me know if I can help debug this--I don't know whether
you have easy access to DEC or AIX boxes.  But with a dysfunctional
gdb I'd need a hint about where this might happen.
Regards,
  -tom
