Hello:
I'm not sure if this is a bug, so I didnt post it on bugzilla. I've
noticed that gfortran only allows lines that are about 130 characters
long, I've also noticed that some other compilers dont have this limit.

My question is, is this a bug or somethig that was done on purpose? And
if so, is it part of the fortran standard?

According to the Fortran 95 standard, source lines in free source form are limited to 132 characters.

(In fixed source form, they're limited to 72 characters, just as in Fortran 77.)
