Thanks, I think there are two issues here:

(i) Something is wrong with the LAPACK installation. What is the version
of LAPACK that you have?

(ii) The *QR routines are marked as `threadsafe` in flapack.pyf.src,
which implies releasing the GIL. However, the XERBLA error handling code
in python_xerbla.c inside Numpy assumes it has the GIL.

(scipy.linalg doesn't have it's own python_xerbla.c, so it ends up
looking for the symbol in numpy.linalg.lapack_lite --- rather unexpected!)

Parameter number 7 is LWORK. What is interesting here is that the
wrapper to this routine ensures that LWORK >= M, as required by LAPACK
documentation. Stepping through the execution of SGERQF in a debugger
would reveal what is going wrong.

Oops, that *is* true. Sorry for my tone in the previous mail...
