- You are right. As a quick and dirty hack, I used
- if (sscanf(...,"%f",&...) != 1)
- at the position where strtod is used. This is reflected in the above
- referred patchkit.
-
- Furthermore, for xview clock, the 'rint()' function is missing. A fast
- hack, which does not cause much trouble in the used context is
- #define rint(X) ((double)((long)X))
