You have to tell the Fortran compiler that these are real*8 constants. 
Otherwise, they are parsed as real constants, truncated to 32-bit 
floats, and then extended to 64-bit doubles when stored into x and y.

One way to fix this is to change the two lines to
     x=0.123456789d0
     y=0.123456788d0

I am not a Fortran expert.  There may be other or better ways to fix tihs.
