If the current LAPACK/BLAS fails like that, I'm surprised, I didn't
think that was the case, and I think you should make a LAPACK bug
report. Is this any more than a broken test? [I've never had enough
disc space in the right place at the right time to check lapack
properly prior to g77 releases, as should have been done.]
