Hello,

First of all thanks so much for all your hard work!  I'm compiling a bunch of 
legacy fortran that relies on SAVE semantics from relic compilers.  I'm using 
the -fno-automatic option to replicate that behavior.  I also was using the 
-finit-local-zero option, assuming that it would initialize local variables 
upon first use, and then save their values in subsequent calls due to the 
-fno-automatic option.  However, I found that -finit-local-zero would 
initialize local variables to zero upon each subroutine call regardless of 
whether -fno-automatic was used or not.  I don't know if this is expected 
behavior, but I thought you may want to mention it in the gfortran man page.

Thanks again!
-Jeff Chase
