We had similar problems on Linux/Xeon using ifort, and we even had the
Intel engineers on the case for a while. It turns out that the cure
is to upgrade to a Linux distro that uses the 2.6 Linux kernel, which
has better 64-bit support. For us this was the latest Red Hat
Enterprise, which is not free. I think Fedora Core 4, which is free,
has this kernel.
A bit more: The older Xeons, from, say, 2 years ago, are just running
in 32-bit mode and are fine with the older 2.4 kernel. The Itanium
chips, which are fully 64-bit are also okay with 2.4. But the current
Xeon chips are some kind of hybrid of 32 and 64, which somehow leads
to confusion with the older kernel.
