Bug in f77 compiler

[chris moore]

I have discovered what appears to be a bug in the f77 compiler
running under 4.2bsd.  Has anyone else encountered this, and
is there a fix for it?

Description:
	A fortran program compiled with 'f77 -c' and then
	passed through 'ld' will not have units 5 and 6
	attached to stdin and stdout.
Reconstruct by:
	Write a program such as:
		write(6,10)
	    10  format('hello')
		stop
	and do an f77 <file>.f
	Running a.out prints 'hello' correctly.
	Now compile using f77 -c <file>.f and then
	ld <file>.o
	Running a.out prints nothing, and the output goes
	into fort.6

I tried doing explicit opens on units 5 and 6 (open (6,'/dev/tty'))
and I keep getting 'Illegal Argument' on the opens.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Of course we have backup tapes.  Do you want last year or the
 year before?
