This is wrong.  In "READ(20) x", 20 is not a format but a unit number. 
Additionally, we allow "READ(20), x" as an extension which makes this even more
annoying to fix.

I'll be leaving for vacation on Thursday.  Given that my first attempts at
fixing this failed, I don't think I'll be able to attend these bugs before the
end of the month.  Fortunately, they're not important issues.
