I just downloaded the 3.3 binaries from http://dryden.biol.yorku.ca/darwin.html
and that seems to solve the problem.

I notice some differences in the configuration -- especially the version of
Darwin (5.4 vs. 6.1) and the thread model (single vs. posix).  The current
Darwin kernel is 6.1 -- I probably should have noticed that before.

The old version:

   % g77 -v
   Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-darwin5.4/3.1/specs
   Configured with: ../gcc3/configure --enable-pfe --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,f77
   Thread model: single
   Apple Computer, Inc. GCC version 1110, based on gcc version 3.1 20020420 (prerelease)

The new version:

   % g77 -v
   Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-darwin6.1/3.3/specs
   Configured with: ../gcc3/configure --enable-languages=c,f77 --disable-nls --enable-pfe --enable-threads=posix
   Thread model: posix
   Apple Computer, Inc. GCC version 1210, based on gcc version 3.3 20020824 (experimental)

Thanks for your input.  I'm back to porting my legacy code to my iBook ...
