I hadn't thought to check when the last time my gfortran was updated.  
That's one small "evil" associated with using a package manager ;-)

In any event, it appears that my gfortran was updated on Feb 20th.

$ ls -l /sw/bin/gfortran
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 27 2008-02-20 01:18 /sw/bin/gfortran -> /sw/ 
lib/gcc4.2/bin/gfortran

I'm presently running gfortran 4.2.3

gfortran -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: i686-apple-darwin9
Configured with: ../gcc-4.2.3/configure --prefix=/sw --prefix=/sw/lib/ 
gcc4.2 --mandir=/sw/share/man --infodir=/sw/share/info --enable- 
languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,java --with-arch=nocona --with- 
tune=generic --host=i686-apple-darwin9 --with-gmp=/sw --with-libiconv- 
prefix=/sw --with-system-zlib --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x- 
libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.2.3

However, the problem with qr didn't start until March 7th.
