Thats what I thought, that the spaces mattered. Well g77 and ifort accept the 
input and evidently a comma does short-circuit the field width.  So, I am 
working on that part with the 4.0 branch for now.  The dump original from the 
4.2 trunk looked really odd to me though and I was having a little build problem 
  (now ok) so I am staying away from 4.2 until the frontend question is answered.
