[Rd] .Fortran successful, R locks up.

Thanks Duncan for helping me along the way. I am working in OSX,
Linux, and Windows, and gdb is helping me trace it along to what
appears to be an endless processor intensive loop in sys-std.c .
Below, I have pasted the output. All files are closed as verified by
lsof. There is absolutely no stdio other than what I have put in a
call to R library's subroutine intpr, all other io is routed to files,
which are all successfully closed. The entire routine successfully
runs, and spits out the output from intpr. Is there supposed to be
something returned from the Fortran routine that Rstd_ReadConsole is
looking for? I have attached the final lines of the fortran
subroutine, as well as the gdb steps post fortran routine. Any
additional help is greatly appreciated!

Last few lines of fortran, where intrflag is :
---SNIP---
      call closefiles
      call deallocate_parms
      call intpr ("test", 4, intrflag, 1)
      return
      end
