I also discovered this after I had contributed a patch based on use of g77:
* varobj.c (c_name_of_child, c_value_of_child): Allow non-zero
offsets for languages like Fortran.
ISTR that the patch failed with an executable built using gfortran but I never
noticed because the testsuite never found it.

I think that the debug info from gfortran may be less complete than that from
g77 and that gfortran developers have issues that they consider more important.
