g77 minor bugs (egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1 release))

[Brian McIlwrath]

Given the following simple program

      double precision a
      a = 1.234567890123456d0
      print *,a
      write(*,'(D19.14)') a
      end 

g77 outputs

  1.23456789
.12345678901235E+01

Which in neither case would seem to me to be wholly satisfactory. Surely
the PRINT * should output to full DOUBLE PRECISION accuracy and the
second WRITE should output the number as .12345678901235D+01

Regards,

Brian McIlwrath
