[Bug fortran/25486] New: [4.2 Regression] fortan fixed-form literal character constant not padded.

[kargl at gcc dot gnu dot org]

There is a regression in 4.2 from 4.1 with fixed-form literal character
constants that are continued to a new line.  Consider the following 
fixed-form code:

      program a
      character(len=90) c
c A tab is between 9 and 0.
      c = '1234567
     &89        0'
      print *, c
      end

The output with 4.1 and trunk are

kargl[216] gfc41 -o z a.f
kargl[217] ./z
 1234567                                                      89        0       
kargl[218] gfc4x -o z a.f
kargl[219] ./z
 123456789      0

gfortran 4.1 agrees with the output from  NAG's compiler and with g77.
