Or more to the point, ignorant Fortran programmers.

Based on some points made by respondents to my earlier post, I went 
back and tried some test cases that our customer had indicated didn't 
work. 

And they did.  So I guess that'll teach me to trust them to do anything 
right.

One result of many of the comments I've received has been a stiffening 
of our position with said customer, and it looks like a rewrite in a 
maintainable form is pending regardless.

Thanks for your assistance, especially in the spine department.
