Re: Bug in strtold()

Looks strange to me.  With your program, I get this output:

  0.123456789 becomes 0.12345678899999999734
  0.123456789 becomes -0.00000000000000000000

But I suspect the problem here is the lack of a proper prototype for
strtold().  When I compile your program with -Wall -W, I get this
output:

  x.c: In function `main':
  x.c:7: warning: implicit declaration of function `strtold'
  x.c:7: warning: long double format, different type arg (arg 3)

So the long double return type isn't handled correctly.  You will have
to look in <stdlib.h> to find out what to define to get the strtold()
prototype enabled.

(Always enable lots of compile warnings when compiling the source. :)
