"scratch" file bug in g77/egcs1.1b

[ REWIND 10 does not write an end-of-file marker on unit 10 ]

I can't find anything in the Standard that suggests REWIND N will  
write an `endfile' record to unit N; in fact, that is what the  
ENDFILE N statement is for.

I do not have an explanation for the different behaviour between  
egcs-1.0.3a and egcs-1.1b.

Hope this helps,
Toon.
