Attached patch follows the point of Dominique who showed that our
default formats for formatted floating-point output aren't wide enough
to allow writing and reading back values. I've widened the formats for
kinds 4, 8 and 10, after checking on x86_64-linux; the testcase is also
an extension of what Dominique posted in the PR. I haven't fixed the
case of real(kind=16) yet, because it's more complicated there (see,
once again, Dominique's testing in the PR). It seemed that there is no
reason to wait for the real(kind=16) issue to be resolved to check in
that patch, so I submit it here for review.
Bootstrapped on x86_64-linux, regtest is still progressing (but a
previous version did regtest fine), OK to commit if no error show up?
Thanks,
FX

FX,
Looks OK, I tested here with and without patch. Good to go.
