Is this a write to standard output "write (*,*) szText" ?

Robert Kern mentioned several times that mingw is broken for writing
to stdout but I only know about it for stdout in c.
I always get a crash when a test compiles a  write to stdout in c with
mingw on my WindowsXP. But then my impression is
that it shouldn't work on the command line either.

Since I don't know much about f2py, I'm not sure whether fortran has
the same problem as c with mingw.
