Problem with -pfa option in f77 compile command

[dixons%phvax.dnet at SMITHKLINE.COM]

I too have been bitten by the signal 139 bug in Irix 3.3 fortran altough
in my case, it had nothing to do with pfa.  Specifically, I was trying to
compile the render3d program mentioned recently in this newgroup:
        f77 -O3 -Olimit 1400 render.f local.o  /usr/people/4Dgifts/iristools/
libimage/libimage.a -o render -lgl_s -lm
Fatal error in: /usr/lib/uopt - core dumped
 Signal 139 *** Error code 1

>From the recent messages in this group and other scuttlebutt I hear, there
seem to be a number of bugs in the 3.3 fortran release.  I hope they will
be fixed in the real customer ship.
