:-o, The things we never knew.  Anyway, use of hacks like this, should result 
in the hack being documented.  At least then we can find them with find-grep in 
emacs, and know about it.  I'm not in favor of using hacks like this, I don't 
endorse it.  If someone wants to approve such a patch in their part of the test 
suite, that's fine with me.

Well, my first question is, why can't test cases that run in a context that 
means, run multiple times, be moved from that context, to a context that means, 
run once?  Seems straight forward.  In the C test suite, that would be moving 
from \*torture to \* (other than torture), usually.  If fortran doesn't have a 
run once context, seems reasonable to create one, I'd recommend doing this once 
there are 20 or more test cases that use the hack.
