library() crashes R

This turned out to be the existence of WRITE statements in one of the
fortran subroutines.  This seemed to result in an undefined symbol
which, when the .so file was created explicitly from a Makefile in the
package source directory, caused the crash.

I'll generate a test example and send it to R-bugs if it looks like
something could be done to help in this situation.

Aha! That's probably what has been going wrong with the akima package
as well. That one has been puzzling me for a while since it crashes on
stock RH6.2 (egcs 2.91.66), but not when using the gcc 2.95 compilers.

Thank you very much for sorting that one out!
