------- Comment #1 from burnus at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-04-17 04:40 ------- I think this was recently fixed. At least with GCC 4.4.0 20090414 and with the latest 4.5 trunk:
(gdb) pt abc type = character*16 (gdb) p abc $1 = 'abc', ' ' <repeats 13 times> I can reproduce the problem with gfortran 4.3.x -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39791
