} This patch fixes the problem basically by allowing locale
} to switch the meanings of '.' and ','. Because I'm an
} ignorant American, I have no idea what this breaks.
It breaks the comma operator, which is the C-style sequential expression
evaluation operator. That is,
$((a=1,2))
should mean "assign 1 to `a' and return the value 2" and not "assign 1.2
to `a'".
I recommend that we either don't use strtod(), or find a way to force it
to use the C locale, rather than mess around with the shell syntax.
