You don't say what system you are using, but my experience on Windows
(95 and NT) is that when FORTRAN is called from Splus there is not
enough stack space for FORTRAN to allocate large data structures. A work
around I have used (there may be better ways) is to create all large
structures in Splus and pass them to FORTRAN. Then the space is already
allocated. 

For example, I have a program that needs to calculate a kronecker
product within the FORTRAN program as an intermediate calculation step.
I found that I needed to set up a matrix in Splus of the appropriate
size and pass it to the FORTRAN program or I would always get a stack
overflow except in trivial size problems. Hope that helps

I am using the FORTRAN interface, and have successfully loaded and used
my 
code for a small dataset. The problem I am now having is that once I 
increase the size of my dataset I get the message (in FORTRAN),
#
unhandled exception in SPLUS.EXE (temp.dll):0*C00000FD: Stack overflow
#
I am debugging using SPLUS as my executable file in FORTRAN. The data
is 
actually accepted by FORTRAN (the dll) without a problem as I can see
it in 
the debug window.

Thanks

Vumani
