Hi FX,

thank you for your help:

ad 1) I thought the fixes to small for all the trouble to go through with a
copyright assignment. But if it is needed, I will happily give copyright to the
FSF and negotiate with my client all formal requirements. Unfortunately my
English is not well enough to understand the legal English on the site you
pointed me to. May I ask you to help me there? Is there a form I have to sign?
Where to I get it? What do you need from my client?

ad 2) Patch bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu on a
standard PC running Fedora 19 (64 bit).

I have to apologize for the incomplete patch: The testcase
unlimited_polymorphism_18.f90 was missing. My fault. Please find the corrected
patch attached.

Regards,
	Andre
