If it is specifically a problem with a FORMAT statement, it's likely
one that is too long.  4.1 F77 had a 200-or-so-element array of chars
to hold any one statement, and no overflow checking.  4.2 F77 seems
to have a larger array, but still no overflow checking.

My fix to the 4.1 F77 compiler was to increase the limit to about
1K, *and to add overflow checking*.  It's not that hard to do; why
doesn't anyone else seem to do it??
