John,
I'll take a look at this, but I probably won't have anything for you until 
sometime Friday.  There's probably a simple but systematic error in our 
Fortran interface which is generated automatically, which means that fixes 
are easy (just fix the generator) but the code in some cases has *never* 
been looked at by a human being.
