Doesn't look nice.
Question/ideas:
What is you compiler toolchain? (Versions of C compiler, Fortran
compiler, etc.) Altix'en appear to be Itanium systems; if so, then
there's not a lot of experience to go around.
Are you doing a clean build? It is usually a good idea to build in a
separate build directory, so that you don't get sources and compiled
files mixed up.
You could check out R-2.4.0-patched. One or two potential buffer
overruns were caught in 2.4.0 and they might be important on Itanium.
