It turns out that fpsetsticky() was misplaced in libc, and libc
has already been bumped for 6.X.  But as you point out, the bump
probably wouldn't fix NAGWare Fortran if this change broke it.
However, my change doesn't seem to have broken the demo version
available on the NAG website.  But if I did break anything, please
let me know.
