[Ipopt] IPOPT: EXIT: Not enough memory

[Tom Vacek]

Follow up:
Here's what I see with GDB:

IpMa57TSolverInterface.cpp:549:
     wd_info_[8] = 2147295357  (This doesn't seem right to me.)
     ma57_pre_alloc_ = 1.05

563:
     wd_lfact_ = -2147483648     (Overflow!)

At 565, this the new object is allocated and wd_lfact_ is apparently 
interpreted as unsigned, and this results in an allocation request of 
size 18446744056529682432.  It is time to compile using
-fdefault-integer-8
