Problem converting float -> double complex

This article is cross posted to two groups because I don't know
whether it's a Fortran or a Sun question. Can someone explain
this behavior? Is it valid Fortran77?

% more try.f

z1 = 1.0
z2 = 1.0/1.0
write(*,*) z1,z2
end
% make try
f77 -sun4 -o try try.f

Why did the conversion to complex*16 go right in one case and wrong in the
other? I would expect that in both cases a real*4 must be converted to
complex*16. I am running SunOS 4.0.3_Export #1 on a Sun4. As for the
compiler: strings /usr/bin/f77 gives (among others) @(#)compile.c 1.70
88/04/18 SMI. Any help (e-mail or followup) is appreciated. Thanks in
advance.
