I thought I'd report it in case anyone thought it was worth backporting a fix, 
but given that there's a simple workaround, I can see that it might not be 
worth while. I'm using 4.6.0 and trunk for most of my work, but this is an 
older (i.e. about 18 months old!) code that relies on the way that gfortran 
4.4 handled type-bound procedures and so won't compile with gfortran 4.5 or 
later (I have an updated version that works with those but haven't released it 
yet). 

Thanks,
Andrew.
