In section 6.1.10 BOZ literal constants of the gfortran manual 
(gfortran.pdf) the final paragraph refers to integer overflow error. As 
a result of Steve Kargl's work on BOZ constants these errors no longer 
occur.

This patch deletes the paragraph. I've checked info, pdf, dvi and HTML 
documents.

OK to commit?

     * gfortran.texi: Delete paragraph about integer overload errors
     when initialising integer variables with BOZ constants as these
     no longer occur.

Yes.  Thanks for cleaning this up.  I've been off fixing
other issues and forgot about updating the docs.
