[Bug libc/193] New: incorrect results from strtod, strtof

["ciriaco at chimica dot uniba dot it" <sourceware-bugzilla at sources dot redhat dot com>]

in:
 
char StringToReal(String *s, double *d) {
  char *a;
  float f;
  *d=strtod(s->rep,&a);
  f=strtof(s->rep,&a);
  f=strtof("0.2",&a);
  return (a!=s->rep);
}
where s->rep="0.2"

*d is returned -1717986918
f is returned 5033165 both times

So, what does this mean?
I used gcc 3.2.2 as compiler.
