[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #7825] built-in versions of base2dec and dec2base

[Dan Sebald]

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #7825 (project octave):

Noting a discrepancy in behavior for the script-file based bin2dec and the
internal bin2dec

Internal wraps at 64-bit

octave:102>
bin2dec("111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111")
ans =  255

Script-based doesn't wrap at 64-bit

octave:728>
bin2dec("111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111")
ans =  4.7224e+21

The fix is simple: change base2dec_str_dbl_op () to actually return a dbl, as
it says, rather than a long unsigned int.  I will update the patch later using
the new source reorganization.
