Verified: This is a bug. The bug is actually in the MSL (Metrowerks
Standard Library) function strtod(), but we can work around it easily
enough.
Thanks for the report,
Scott
PS: Note that one could certainly make the argument that --6 is a
number, but its value would be 6, whereas it comes out as -6 in MSL.
There shouldn't be too many more bugs like this in the engine as we've
found and rewritten so many buggy MSL functions, we're hardly using
any anymore ;-)
