Out of curiosity I checked with SPARA and MS-FORTRAN 5.0. I split
the file into 3 files of approximately the same size, and compiled
with the -FPi87 -G2 -AL -Od switches. I got:

No failures, defects nor flaws have been discovered.
Rounding appears to conform to proposed IEEE standard
The arithmetic diagnosed appears to be Excellent!
End of test

Again 2.0 crashed, and this time DOS crashed as well. Only 1.3 
survived.
