[I'm copying this reply to the developers mailing-list, as a heads up  
about the http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html page; the original message was  
in the gnu-fortran google group]

Hum, indeed, we seriously need to update that page. Thanks for *that*  
bug report :-)

Yes, the gcc bugzilla (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/) is the right  
place to report gfortran bugs: create a new bug, choose GCC and then  
select "fortran" as the "Component".

In the case of C, the .i files are the preprocessed files. When  
reporting gfortran bugs, please include the preprocessed source  
(which has lowercase file extension), as well as any files included  
by the Fortran "include" directive, and all source files containing  
modules used in the main source file. The point is that we have to be  
able to compile and reproduce the problem with the files you give us.

Thanks,
FX
