I guess you get the error about long jump. I managed to work around this by 
tweaking the memory layout for the CERNLIB on Snow Leopard. I feared that this 
might not work on Lion as is. I'll have to look into it once I get a machine 
running Lion. Sight.

I guess that's the safer way. The gap btw fortran 66 memory management and 
Lion's architecture might get too wide to bridge.
