The strange thing to me is that this doesn't seem to have broken anything
in f95 code.  That code has the same bug but for some reason it doesn't
seem to show up as test failures anywhere.  If we can't fix this for 4.4
but will fix it in 4.5 with an ABI change would a patch to XFAIL these
tests be considered acceptable?  I will also submit a PR for the problem.
