  I helped Edvardsen to track this down off-list.  It turns out that FLEXPART
is one of those huge number-crunching Fortran programs that's just jam-packed
with ginormous multi-dimensional arrays.  The final linked executable had 3.38
GB of .bss space!  So, it's not too surprising that it didn't load on 32-bit
Windows; and it's not, as I was worrying, any explicit bug in the compiler or
binutils (although it may be arguable that ld could be helpful if it issued
some kind of warning in these circumstances).

    cheers,
      DaveK
