When I thought about this bug, I decided against this approach, as I 
thought it might suppress valid warnings.

The problem with doing real fix is that once we resolve character 
lengths, we don't know where they're coming from, i.e. we can't tell if 
they're from a module or whether they belong to PARAMETERs. 
Unfortunately, we can't add this information to the gfc_charlen 
structures, as they may be referred to from several objects.

If other people agree that this is the right way of solving this, I'm by 
no means opposed to it, though.

Cheers,
