Yep, a regression w.r.t. gcc/g77-2.95.  I'll file a bug report.

You'll probably mean list directed output, i.e., something along the
lines of:

      DIMENSION A(10)
      DATA A /10*1.1/
      PRINT*, A
      END

It is Standard behaviour, because the Standard leaves the choice of the
actual format used to print the contents of A to the processor
(compiler).
If you want a particular format, you have to supply one (e.g.,
'(10F7.2)').

Hope this helps,
