RE: LAPACK test problem dumps core at -O2 - egcs-19981101 g77 - mips-sgi-irix6.2

["Billinghurst, David (RTD)" <David dot Billinghurst at riotinto dot com dot au>]

I have narrowed this down to one loop, but I can't reduce the size of the
test case ;-<
The problem is with the double loop around a statement function cabs1 in
routine cchkgk
Almost any change to the loop - for example the write statement below -
eliminates the error

	--- cchkgk2.f   Thu Nov 12 09:00:18 1998

	        CALL CGEMM( 'C', 'N', M, M, N, CONE, VLF, LDVL, WORK,
LDWORK,
	       $            CZERO, F, LDF )
	  *
	        VMAX = ZERO
	        DO 70 J = 1, M
	+          write(6,*) 'j = '
	           DO 60 I = 1, M
	              VMAX = MAX( VMAX, CABS1( E( I, J )-F( I, J ) ) )
	     60    CONTINUE
	     70 CONTINUE
