test program showing end-of-file on reading from a string

I read a line from a file into a character variable (which has room for more
characters than are in the line). When the first character contains a * flag, I
then read some numbers, in free format, from the string. This worked fine with
earlier versions of gfortran, but with version 4.6.2, the read fails with an
"end of file" message. I can get it to work by adding an EOL to the end of the
string, but seems to me that this should not be necessary. A very small program
showing the behavior is attached.
