I looked at this just a little bit and clearly this bit from interp_body 
cannot work in the presence of recor arrays:

//....
        intp sf1 = sb1 / sizeof(double);        \
//...
        #define f1    ((double *)x1)[j*sf1]


There are clearly some assumptions that sb1 is evenly divisible by 
sizeof(double). Blech!. This is likely my fault, and I expect it won't 
be too horrible to fix, but I don't know that I'll have time immediately.
