Thanks for the report. However, as it says in
  C-h v fortran-line-length

    Setting this variable directly (after fortran mode is loaded) does
    not take effect. Use either M-x customize (which affects all Fortran
    buffers and the default) or the function `fortran-line-length'
    (which can also operate on just the current buffer).

So: use

C-u 132 M-x fortran-line-length

The variable fortran-line-length does not exist in 21.4.
