Bug report gcc 4.8

[Walter Spector]

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the update.  Since this seems to be the only remaining F90/F95 issue
in gfortran, it is great to hear that it is finally getting some attention.  As soon
as you have something in the trunk, I will be happy to test it and get him up
and running with it.

Please realize that a lot of us 'users' of gfortran greatly appreciate the gfortran
teams efforts!  If I didn't, I wouldn't be reporting the bugs I encounter and advocating
for their repair.

Walter
