Greetings!  we replaced sscanf with strtod for conversion of decimal
strings in 2.6.10 to accomodate a Windows failure, the details of which
I've forgotten, but will try to reproduce.  Just discovered that strtod
on Linux at least sets ERANGE and returns zero for denormalized string
input.  Considering and exact but slow bignum algorithm given the
presence of gmp, but not thrilled about this.  Suggestions?

Take care,
