Its the old problem of rounding errors in floating point arithmetic.
In string_to_num() in src/string.c,
f = f * sign * pow(10.0, exponent); /* ugly, oh yeah */
Which in this case translates to 12.0*-1*0.1 which is -1.2000...2 != -1.2.
I replaced this bit of code from a block I found i
I compiled on Tru64
> uname -m -p -r -s -v
OSF1 V4.0 878 alpha
I compiled with the digital compiler, not gcc,
DEC C V5.6-075 on Digital UNIX V4.0 (Rev. 878)
I ran into the inet_pton problem described earlier. This installation
also does
not have snprintf() so I had to add an #ifdef HAS_
