SunOS 4.1.3 problem

My application code aborts with a segmentation violation in routine PLCHHQ. So
I tried running the simple example "fpcfonts.f", which is one of the many
examples provided with NCAR graphics that calls PLCHHQ. I got the very same
error. Note that I have successfully run other examples (like example.f) which
do not call PLCHHQ, so my installation and setup seem to be ok. Here is the
sequence:

   ncargex fpcfonts
   NCAR Graphics Fortran Fundamentals Example <fpcfonts>

     Copying fpcfonts.f

   Compiling and Linking...
   f77 -o fpcfonts fpcfonts.f /usr/local/lib/libncarg.a
   /usr/local/lib/libncarg_gks.a /usr/local/lib/libncarg_c.a
   /usr/local/lib/libncarg_loc.a -lX11 -lm
   fpcfonts.f:
    MAIN exmpls:

   Executing <fpcfonts>...
   *** Segmentation Violation = signal 11 code 3
   Traceback has been recorded in file:
            /tmp_mnt/home/ajb/ncar/./fpcfonts.trace
   Note: Line numbers for system and library calls may be incorrect
   Abort (core dumped)
   Metafile is named fpcfonts.ncgm

The traceback looks like:

I am running on a Sparc10 under SunOS 4.1.3. Has anyone experienced this
problem before? Thanks.
