Public bug reported:
The gfortran-4.3 package in Ubuntu 8.10 is *BROKEN*
Fundamental things like string handling does not work. It is very
important that this package is upgraded to the latest stable 4.3
release. This bug makes Ubuntu a less attractive platform for scientific
computing; an important and growing field in the Linux world.
