Ooops! Floating point numbers are used to initialize ints. Not exactly wrong
but definitely suboptimal. But, on the other hand, not all these errors are
caused by that (some of them are used to initialize floats). So I dunno whats
going on here, but I'll fix the bad initialisations.

Cheers,

Ben.

I'm not sure, but I think I've heard that at least one AIX compiler
uses the locale to parse numeric constants.  So in some countries
"0.0" would have to be written "0,0".

So this is a compiler bug.  Setting (the env var) LANG=C for the
compile should probably fix it.
