Reply to comment #2:  After studying this some more.

Note that the first form of the READ has a non optional left paren.  This means
that as soon as one sees a left paren right after READ that we must be in
io-control-spec-list form.

The PRINT statement is valid because the first entity after the PRINT, must
always be a format expression, parens do not matter in the same way.

I am going to vote that this bug is invalid.  IFORT and Sun F95 also reject
this.

I will post to comp.lang.fortran for an interpretation.
