Analysing hte source shows that the error check of the function strtof()
is incorrect. The source just checks the value of errno, but a correct
functioning of strtof() is signaled by (see man page):
If no conversion is performed, zero is returned and the value
of nptr is stored in the location referenced by endptr.
Please correct the error check for the function strtof().

Vincent Smeets
