I've reproduced the problem on my RH 5.2 PentiumII system, and
have played around with different compiler options, as well
as different versions of the compiler.

I can't find a clear bug in there.  Could you please try to debug
your code so as to determine exactly what it is doing wrong?  By
"it" I mean the code as compiled by g77 -- once a problem is
sufficiently narrowed down to, e.g., a line of code, where it's
easy to see what the code tries to do vs. what happens, it's usually
straightforward to identify the culprit -- code, compiler, library --
and is an important step in then identifying the bug itself.

The g77 docs have more info on what's needed under "Reporting Bugs".
