OK will look into that.

In the case of the PRs in the subject line- writing +/-Infinity or Nan 
resulted in an error "printf is broken".
complex_write.f90 and fmt_read.f90 are both hit by isfinite detecting 
infinite values that do not exist - for some reason, going through the 
end of the format list and starting over triggers a false infinity. I 
tried to diagnose it but was hit by strange interactions between the 
broken isfinite and st_sprintf/st_printf.  nan_inf_fmt.f90 fails for the 
same reason as the PRs.
