In fact, the problem is locale dependent. I was running the code with
LC_ALL=fr_FR, the code sets the locales when starting. So strtod("0.5") is
recognised as 0 because the '.' is not the decimal separator in French (it is
the comma ','). If I run the code with LC_ALL=en_GB or equivalent, I do not have
the error. So I think we can call it a bug?

My first explanation concerning the semi-colon after 0.5 and the test of the
tailprt != '\0' is false:

this explanation is not relevant. I must have missed something in the
getdata_pair code. 

Kevin, did anyone volunteer to continue your work? The new spell is a good piece
of code, it must continue. Thanks for your work.

Cheers
