Serious weirdness in strtof

[Ragnar Hojland Espinosa]

glibc-2.3.2 (gentoo glibc-2.3.2-r9)

#include <stdlib.h>
main()
{
   printf ("%f\n", strtof ("+5.7344E+02", 0));
   return 0;
}

prints:
0.000000

and

#include <stdlib.h>
main()
{
   char foo;
   printf ("%f\n", strtof ("+5.7344E+02", 0));
   return 0;
}

prints:
245504.625029


as well as

glibc-2.3.3_pre20040207 (compiled with gcc 3.3.2-r7)
and on an old Red Hat Adv. Server 2.1 glibc-2.2.4-26

it does the same (with different numbers)
