--- Comment #10 from Sebastien Bardeau <bardeau at iram dot fr> 2011-11-29 14:33:08 UTC --- Indeed this is a workaround that we will probably adopt. I would say that although I partially disagree the choices made in the Fortran Standards in this context, gfortran is not to blame here. So I think this "bug" can be closed. Thanks for the comments Tobias.
