The problem is solved : it's neither f2c nor gcc; the culprit was the
interface script 'yaf77' which calls first f2c, then gcc and which
unfortunately uses a 'sed' command inserting wrong characters into the
.c file produced by f2c.

yaf77 is nice otherwise, as it comes with a library of often-required
functions/subroutines (like etime, second, ...).

Molscript works nicely on Linux.
