No, you misunderstood me. I should have been clearer: the PLPLOT module did not
include the subroutine plctime, plbtime and plconfigtime. This means that the
compiler has no clue as to what arguments are required and simply accepts
whatever you pass (which is the way FORTRAN 77 worked and what the compiler is
obliged to do). I added interfaces to the module, so that now it does check the
types. It would be nice if in fact the compiler would warn about such unknown
routines.
My new bindings would not have prevented this, as it was an omission, not an
incorrect implementation.

Alas, no progress here, as I have been rather busy with many things.
