Yes; unfortunately, we changed things enough that updating from upstream became 
impractical. At some point we should take a look at changes made to the 
upstream dtoa.c since our adoption of it, and figure out whether any of those 
changes need to be applied to our copy. That's not going to be an easy task. It 
would be easier if there were upstream testcases (and regression tests in 
particular), but as far as I'm aware there aren't any.
