The following program - which uses a very common extension - is rejected by gfortran. It is accepted by ifort, NAG f95 (!), sunf95, openf95, pgi, absoft. As it is a very common extension, I marked it as reject-valid though the tab makes it non-standard.
It is essential that at least for the second and third line a TAB and not spaces are used.
