When a REWIND was issued after a WRITE statement on an unformatted
file, the implicit truncation was performed by copying the truncated
file to /tmp and copying the result back. This has been fixed by using
the @code{ftruncate} OS function. Thanks go to the GAMESS developers
for bringing this to our attention.

It is not necessary anymore to use the option @code{-femulate-complex}
to compile Fortran code using COMPLEX arithmetic, even on 64-bit machines
(like the Alpha). This will improve code generation.

INTRINSIC arithmetic functions are now treated as routines that do not
depend on anything but their argument(s). This enables further instruction
scheduling, because it is known that they cannot read or modify arbitrary
locations.
