Al and Damian,

Many thanks for the praise - every little bit helps:-)

Over the last few years I have developed a 30,000 line Fortran-95
engineering application using simultaneously several compilers (XLF,
LF95, G95, and IVF).   During that time I toyed with Gfortran and put
up with the 2 steps forward, 1 step back of each binary build.

We are sharply aware of this problem.  It has come about largely
because of the inadequacy, in the past, of our testsuite.  Not having
a take-the-standard-and-write-a-testsuite yardstick to go by, ours has
grown as we have fixed bugs and regressions.  

They do exist, for example http://www.fortran.com/f95ts.html . How
much do they cost? I would donate a few hundred dollars toward buying
one, if the Gfortran started a collection.
