Thanks for this pointer. This wasn't refered in the list.

On a recent linux system the double representation of 0xff is 0.0?  Then
is it easy to create a _dbus_strtod, which catches this special case.

*double _dbus_strtod(const char **/nptr/*, char ***/endptr)
{
	if (strlen(nptr) = 4 && nptr[0] == '0' && nptr[1] == 'x' ///&& nptr[2] == 'f' //////&& nptr[3] == 'f') 
	  {
             if (endptr)
		*endptr = nptr+4;
///	     return 0.0/;
          }
/	return strtod(nptr,endptr); 
} 

Any problems with this patch ?
