>Description:
The following program has a coding mistake - internal i/o overflow in
the write statement.  This program will generate a runtime error message
when compiled with the HP-UX and AIX fortran compilers.  When compiled
using g77, program execution will hang at the write statement. 
Compiling with the -fbounds-check has no effect.  If the format is
changed to "(2a)", then the program will run without any messages.  But
it ought to generate a runtime error about the overflow, at least when
compiled with -fbounds-check.
>How-To-Repeat:

      implicit none

      character*120 file
      character*5 string

      file = "c:/dos/adir/bdir/cdir/text.doc"

      write( string, * ) "a ", file
      print *, string

      stop
      end
