To be clear.  I'm not being dismissive, here.  The bug report
is still open because there is some agreement that how gfortran
handles qNaN and sNaN needs to be revisited.

The problem is that there are only a few individuals who actively
contribute to gfortran development.  There are currently 931 open
bug reports.  They may not have the time (or perhaps the interest
in this issue) given the 930 other problems.

If the problem is a significant roadblock for you, then getting
involved with gfortran development would be most welcomed.  You
can ask questions on the fortran@ and gcc@ mailing list.  Also,
given your email address, you may be able to directly (as in person)
discuss the IEEE 754 implementation with Francois-Xavier Coudert
<fxcoud...@gcc.gnu.org> (although FX's contributions have diminished
over time due to Real Life, ie., wife, kids, job, etc.).
