Unfortunately, not all of 1.3.1's problems are so simple.  Trust me, you
have something to worry about.  I hope Sun does a better job of testing 1.4
before they release it than they did 1.3.1.  The number of and nature of the
bugs in 1.3.1 are unpardonable for a Fortran compiler from  a company as
well established as Sun.
