RFA: strtod patch

Sat Sep 15 20:19:00 GMT 2001

I was somewhat surprised to find that gcj mishandled:
 public class X {
 public static void main(String[] args) {
	 System.out.println(Double.parseDouble("1.0e+0"));
 }
 }
The output was `0.0'.
It turns out that the C strtod library function used in libjava was
broken. The code removed by this patch had the effect of causing
a 0 exponent to result in EINVAL, which does not make sense to me.
Testing now on i686-pc-linux-gnu.
OK to apply?
