i suspect that this is an error in a C routine also found by another 
user.  Previous OS / compiler stes have allowed the code but this one 
does not.  The routine is $AIPS_ROOT/31DEC09/APL/DEV/UNIX/ZFRE2.C
and has a line saying

  if (vtemptr[0] == 0) {

Remove the [0], recompile the subroutine via COMRPL $APLUNIX/ZFRE2
and re-run INSTEP4.

I do always ask - why are you compiling the code yourself?  If you plan 
to develop AIPS tasks then you will need to do so.  But the binary 
version we give away for Linux 32-bit and 64-bit are compiled with Intel 
compilers and operate much faster than the gnu compiler outputs.
