I have checked the above fix into scipy, along with a couple of other 
small patches, making revision 1467.  Fedora users might be interested 
to know that gcc 4.0.2, which includes the gfortran patches needed to 
compile scipy correctly, was released as a Fedora Core 4 update yesterday.

I appreciate the effort Ravi put into making scipy work with gfortran.
