Summary: Doesn't work properly--too big and/or SAVE's needed?

Is anyone out there using MINPACK with Lahey Personal F77?  Does it
work OK?  I tried the ELMDER1.FOR example program which comes with the
package (obtained via netlib), and it gives different answers when
compiled with LP77 than with MS Fortran.  I believe the latter is
correct (for once...) There are two possible explanations:

1.  I am inadvertently exceeding LP77's memory limits (I have F77L on
order, but it isn't here yet and I need this app *now*).

2.  There are SAVE statements required in MINPACK but not present--
remember Lahey allocates local variables off the stack.
