*  Purpose
*  =======
*
*  PSCHEKPAD checks that the padding around a local array has not
*  been overwritten since the call to PSFILLPAD.  3 types of errors
*  are reported:
*
*  1) Overwrite in pre-guardzone. This indicates a memory overwrite has
*  occurred in the first IPRE elements which form a buffer before the
*  beginning of A.  Therefore, the error message:
*     'Overwrite in  pre-guardzone: loc(  5) =         18.00000'
*  tells you that the 5th element of the IPRE long buffer has been
*  overwritten with the value 18, where it should still have the value
*  of CHKVAL.
*
*  2) Overwrite in post-guardzone. This indicates a memory overwrite has
*  occurred in the last IPOST elements which form a buffer after the end
*  of A. Error reports are refered from the end of A.  Therefore,
*     'Overwrite in post-guardzone: loc( 19) =         24.00000'
*  tells you that the 19th element after the end of A was overwritten
*  with the value 24, where it should still have the value of CHKVAL.
*
*  3) Overwrite in lda-m gap.  Tells you elements between M and LDA were
*  overwritten.  So,
*     'Overwrite in lda-m gap: A( 12,  3) =         22.00000'
*  tells you that the element at the 12th row and 3rd column of A was
*  overwritten with the value of 22, where it should still have the
*  value of CHKVAL.
*
*  Arguments
*  =========
*
*  ICTXT   (global input) INTEGER
*          The BLACS context handle, indicating the global context of
*          the operation. The context itself is global.
*
*  MESS    (local input) CHARACTER*(*)
*          String containing a user-defined message.
*
*  M       (local input) INTEGER
*          The number of rows in the local array A.
*
*  N       (input) INTEGER
*          The number of columns in the local array A.
*
*  A       (local input) REAL array of dimension (LDA,N).
*          A location IPRE elements in front of the array to be checked.
*
*  LDA     (local input) INTEGER
*          The leading Dimension of the local array to be checked.
*
*  IPRE    (local input) INTEGER
*          The size of the guard zone before the start of padded array.
*
*  IPOST   (local input) INTEGER
*          The size of guard zone after the padded array.
*
*  CHKVAL  (local input) REAL
*          The value the local array was padded with.
