 This is likely due to a bug in our unmanaged strtod implementation,
 which is copied from some _old_ BSD sources, and has bugs, like this
 infinite loop.

+But neither the test case, nor the strtod.c implementation have
+changed recently. 
+
+What I did find surprising is that the hang dissapears if I compile
+strtod with -O0.  Then I rebuilt with -O2 and it works without hanging. 
+
+Am puzzled.
