Regarding <TAB>: Standard Fortran does not allow tabs, as extension gfortran
does. Thus you do not need to change the code (though it does not harm to be
standard compliant - that is what the warning tells you). But one needs to be
careful: By default, every character after column 72 is ignored; I forgot how
this interplays with tabs (i.e. whether they count as 1 or as 6 spaces).
The line "read(*,*)x,y" looks harmless and of cause works here with a simple
test program; the line should work since early gfortran 4.0.0.
Can you attach a minimal program which fails? And include the exact command you
entered and the exact gfortran version ("gcc version" and the "Target:" line
shown by "gfortran -v").
Additionally, you could try a newer version, cf.
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries, though I would expect that this does
not help as the problem is probably elsewhere. (I'd expect that it is a bug in
your program.)
