Originally, this is one of the reasons the patch was not committed:
There were places in fortran that weren't clean, etc, and i just didn't
have time to go hunting (which is why i posted it to gcc patches, and
left it out there for whoever wanted it).

Though apparently, not checking this stuff has led us to arguably worse
consequences.

So i'm a little wary of not installing the patch at some point soon,
although i understand we all have time constraints.
