I can confirm your guess: I did a bit of testing and replaced all these
33,3333 values in the resx file by 33: integer, so no issue about decimal
separators. There might be a bit of precission loss in the distribution of
the table rows (anyway, that's less than 1% in the worst case). After that,
I recompiled from VS and tried it with Mono: everything is working fine now.
Also, I'm working on a machine with a Spanish version of Windows and the
regional configuration set to Catalan: both cultures use the comma as the
decimal separator.
Seeing the parts of the .resx file you highlighted, the issue seems quite
obvious: comma-separated values where some of the values contain commas
themselves: how could that **not** cause problems?
I think the bug should be fixed, because it's a bug after all; but right now
my program is able to just avoid it. If there is anything I can do to help
fixing it, just let me know.

Thanks to all of you for all the help! Once finished, the project is going
to be published under GPL, so sharing some sources was not a problem :P
