  Hi Tim, can you give me a bit of context here?  I don't know what sort of
problems you're seeing or what "fully" working means here.  And of course it's
not going to reflect anything that happened after 4.3 branched.

  I noticed a few regressions in the testsuite, where the expected output
doesn't show up - in fact no output showed up at all from the testcases.  But
when I tried to reproduce a few of them manually, they worked fine and
generated the correct output, so I put it down to an artifact of the testsuite
framework, maybe an interaction with tcl/expect and cygwin/win32 pipes, and
figured I'd try and solve it before the next release.

  I don't know much about Fortran, so I can't necessarily solve problems in
the front-end, but if the issues relate to generic compiler infrastructure
such as stdio or exception handling I should be able to fix bugs.

    cheers,
      DaveK
