Thanks for the bug report and patch.  I have one question (and I'd still
like to do some testing before pushing):  Isn't the '!' line a Fortran
90 comment, and doesn't that have to be written differently for pure
Fortran 77?

Yes, that part is quite obviously good (it has a near-zero chance of
regressing anything!).

Thanks,
