Well, an initialization (sym->value) can only be only used for PARAMETERs or
for variables in static memory ("SAVE"). Having both "SAVE" and "PARAMETER"
does not really make sense. I assume that first the SAVE was added - and only
later PARAMETER (with a similar comment and many lines later in the file).
I have submitted the patch for approval at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/fortran/2011-11/msg00234.html
and given your approval in comment 4 I will commit it. Thanks for looking
through my patch and for debugging and creating the draft patch of comment 2.
