Dear people,

thanks a lot for the discussion following my bug-report. The situation is clear
to me now, and I agree this is not a real gfortran bug, but a problem in the
standard.
By the way, is there a way to warn/advise users to rather use the iostat
keyword in stead of the err/end keywords in these problematic situations? In
other words, is it possible for gfortran to detect potential problems like
this, and then issue a warning, in addition to stopping with a runtime error?

best regards,

Jos de Kloe.
