f90 continuation lines w/ comments only indent properly w/ tab

[Richard E. Hawkins]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386--freebsd, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
 of 2002-03-18 on fac13.ds.psu.edu
configured using `configure  --prefix=/usr/local i386--freebsd'
Important settings:
  value of $LC_ALL: nil

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

The reformatting is inconsistent between region indentation
  (meta-ctrl-Q) and the use of tab on an individual line, when
  formatting a multi-line variable declaration which includes
  comments.  For example, indent-region yields the following:

  integer,parameter::  &
       ! the ratio of consumers to merchants
  nmScale=100 ,&
       ! the number of merchants
  nTotMerchants=100,&
       ! yielding hte number of consumers
  nTotConsumers = nmScale*nTotMerchants,&
 
whereas hitting tab line by line will correctly indent nmScale, etc.

The two are inconsistent.  The tab behavior is the correct behavior.
