I think the problem is the abs bug that some older C++ libraries had. 
 That line calls std::abs(double), which is part of the standard 
library but some older systems didn't have it.

That's AC analysis.  That code in e_storag.cc is transient step 
control.  I think the problem is the abs bug again.

I think the problem is a combination of that and you are using an 
older compiler that does not do the std:: namespace correctly.  As a 
result, it is substituting the integer abs function.

If that is the case, the work-around is to add "-DABS_IS_BROKEN" to 
the Make2.___ file.  That adds a function std::abs(double) that does 
the right thing.

What compiler are you using?  What libraries?
