Package: libc6
Version: 2.0.100-2
doubletest.c:
------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
main(){
double foo = atof("1.0");
double bar = 1.0;
printf("foo = %f, bar = %f\n", foo, bar);
}
------------------
gamera:~/src> cc -o doubletest doubletest.c
gamera:~/src> doubletest
foo = 2147482352.000000, bar = 1.000000
gcc version (egcs) is 2.91.60-5. This is on PowerPC and is probably broken on
this platform only.
