The first attempt to fix (above) is completely off.  I have tried various 
combinations of code changes and I am beginning to think the warning is bogus:

In function ‘btoa_big’,
    inlined from ‘write_b’ at ../../../trunk/libgfortran/io/write.c:1217:11:
../../../trunk/libgfortran/io/write.c:1052:6: warning: writing 1 byte into a 
region of size 0 [-Wstringop-overflow=]
 1052 |   *q = '\0';
      |   ~~~^~~~~~

Using gdb I have watched the pointer address stored in q and the setting of the 
string of bytes doing the binary to ascii conversion. I have also checked the 
length of the buffer being used and its is what I would expect with length of 129.

However, the warning only goes away if I add an additional 8 bytes to the buffer 
(suspicious).

So doing the following eliminates the warning:

diff --git a/libgfortran/io/write.c b/libgfortran/io/write.c
index 4ef35561fdd..fd0e46851e4 100644
--- a/libgfortran/io/write.c

   GFC_UINTEGER_LARGEST n = 0;

   if (len > (int) sizeof (GFC_UINTEGER_LARGEST))

Any suggestions? I am certainly not seeing it.
