I remember someone reporting this before with an old libc.
They got it working with an evil hack involving setting d_Gconvert
to an expression including strtok.
This would be that ticket :). Just making sure there is a
vicitm^Wtester still available to work with :)

Are you still getting the odd results with

perl -wle 'print q(").(100**100**100).q(")'
" Inf"

If so, may I ask what Linux you are running?

This is what I get today

dd:dcd$ perl -wle 'print q(").(100**100**100).q(")'
" Inf"
