Why should it - the standard doesn't require it. (See John's comment.)


      I'd be interested if anyone knows of any other differences like this.


Read the standard on named common blocks. There is a compiler in existence
(from DG?) that actually implements what is suggested by the standard.

Except when you have to support a number of implementations, and one of them
requires it, and in another (by an unnamed manufacturer with a TLA and blue as
its company colour 8-\) kills the compiler...
