Jeff Squyres 17d313f6e1 It turns out that Fortran has some specific rules about copying
strings.  Here's one: no matter how much of the string you copy, the
destination string must be space-padded for the entire remaining area.
Specifically, even if you call MPI_INFO_GET and tell MPI to only copy
a max of N characters of the value into the result string, if the
Fortran string is M characters (where M > N), MPI must space-pad the
remaining (M-N) characters to be spaces.  So you're supposed to obey
the argument to MPI_INFO_GET... sorta.
