Sun f77 v 1.3.1: MAJOR Bug???

I just installed Sun FORTRAN v 1.3.1 on my Sparcstation (SunOS4.1) and
began reading the notes when I discovered:
Complex arithmetic with -fast fails.
If you specify inlining and a floating point option other than
-fsoft, then complex arithetic fails.
Example 1: f77 -fast any.f
Example 2: f77 -cg89 -libmil any.f
Well this is not a minor bug. I have a couple of questions though...
1. On my SS1, I can't invoke -fsoft as an option. It doesn't
recognise it. f77 -help does not list it. Is this the
default??
2. Does anyone have some code that produces any errors (specifically
in Ex. 2 as that is how I compile my code)? I have not noticed
any gross errors in the output, but I wonder about the subtle
ones that might bite me later.
This really stinks! If you compile without -libmil everything takes
*twice* as long to run.
I really need some confirmation about the existence of this bug....
Thanks all,
Robert
