Additional remark: In the programs (Fortran77 and C) in question the
memory is STATICALLY allocated.
If one changes to automatic variables one gets up to ca. 700 MB before
the segfaults start, and with malloc allocation there appears to
be no limit (beyond that of VM available).
In the Fortran case, making use of the Fortran 90 feature of
ALLOCATABLE arrays also is a workaround to the above problem.
However it is a nuisance if one only has g77 available ...
