Bernhard --

It appeasr that this patch:

2007-02-10 Bernhard Fischer aldot@gcc.gnu.org Backport from trunk PR fortran/24783

• resolve.c (resolve_variable): Get the implicit type from the symbols namespace rather than the default namespace. Fix whitespace. (resolve_formal_arglist, resolve_equivalence): Fix typo.

was checked in after 4.1.2 RC2 was announced, and certainly after 4.1.2 RC1 was announced. The 4.1 branch is completely frozen at this time.

I'm sorry that this happened, but it was actually jerryd who backported this fix and committed it, so i don't feel guilty for this violation of the freeze.

I don't recall approving this patch for 4.1.2. If I did, please just remind me of that fact, and accept my apologies. If not, this was an inappropriate check-in. Since it looks like we will be doing an RC3 release, I will not ask you to revert the change. However, please be mindful of the release branch freeze state in future.

I'm aware of the freeze of the 4_1-branch and will not touch it, yes.
