What I have learned too, but apparently this is a trick for fortran
dinosaurs!-)

Probably yes, but having only access to binaries on the linux boxes, I have
chosen the available solution from the fortran side. Since the problem
deals only with the ms (the orther part is an integer), I am not sure
it worth the trouble to change the intrinsic. However if it is decided
to change it, I have found another buglet in addition to the format
pointed by Steve Kargl. What I can do is to put all the fixes together
and submit the corresponding patch.
