+@code{libg2c} (@code{libf2c}) fixes a bug whereby
+input to a @code{NAMELIST} read involving a repeat count,
+such as @samp{K(5)=10*3},
+was not properly handled by @code{libf2c}.
+The first item was written to @samp{K(5)},
+but the remaining nine were written elsewhere (still within the array),
+not necessarily starting at @samp{K(6)}.
