Do I misunderstand what `static store' is?  We can already
-malign-double happily for Fortran to get static data (is that the
right term?) aligned properly, e.g. in COMMON.  However, stack
allocation (arrays or not) may still be a killer, as with the code
where the problem was discovered originally.  I understood the stack
problem was sorted, modulo appropriate crt, by a Schmidt/Lehmann
patch, waiting on paperwork from Lehmann which seems never to have
turned up according to copyright.list.

I wish I understood all this :-(.
