Preprocessor statements (as if|else|endif|error|warning) must start in colum 1, otherwise gfortran tries to handle them itself?!

$> cat pp.F90
PROGRAM test_preprocessor
 #error "EEE"         ! whitespace is significant
END PROGRAM

$> gfortran-4.3 -g -Wall pp.F90
 In file pp.F90:3

 #error "EEE"
1
Error: Unclassifiable statement at (1)


$> cat pp.F90
PROGRAM test_preprocessor
#error "EEE"
END PROGRAM

$> gfortran-4.3 -g -Wall pp.F90
pp.F90:3: error: #error "EEE"


Filed this as fortran report since gcc bails out as expected and both run (afaik) the same preprocessor:

$> cat pp.c
int main() {
  #error "EEE"     /* whitespaces are not significant */
  return 0;
}

$> gcc-svn -g -Wall pp.c
pp.c:2:4: error: #error "EEE"


$> gfortran -v
