--- Comment #1 from Erich E. Hoover <erich.e.hoover at gmail.com> ---
Wow.
1) I'm surprised that it's using atof (which is for doubles)
2) I'm surprised that this value works on Windows, since it's greater than
FLT_MAX (3.402823466e+38F)

My guess would be that the value is being treated as a double, my new
calculation is somewhat different from whatever MS does, and then when it gets
typecast to a float it ends up slightly larger than what is allowed for
FLT_MAX.  Is this number from someplace special?  Is there are a reason your
application does not use FLT_MAX?
