 OK, so I've built a gcc-4.0.2 and run its testsuite.
 intrinsic_fraction_exponent.f90 and intrinsic_set_exponent.f90
 did fail on an unchanged system.
 With my patch in place, both appear to succeed. (At least they
 don't abort() if I run them standalone; I'm not so comfortable
 with dejagnu to know how to run single tests.)
 If there are more tests in unreleased gcc versions which fail
 due to problems with subnormal numbers please let me know.
 
 thanks for your report
 best regards
 Matthias
