Another way to fix the stack size problem is to move some of the local
variables in irrad() into COMMON blocks.  I'm not thrilled about COMMON
blocks but it would be a *very* portable way to deal with machines that
have OS-imposed stack size limits that we can't work around with
something like "ulimit".

And, effectively, its what the PGI compiler internally does!

So, if I write a modification to irrad() that uses COMMON blocks, would
you folks use it or at least consider using it?
