I believe the issue with misparsing of floats/doubles/etc has
been correctly identified as a locale issue and *incorrectly*
identified as a carriage-return/linefeed issue.

Somewhere I thought I saw Bruce say that it's already fixed...

 From 7.3b2, psql as started:
rovero=# show lc_numeric
rovero-# ;
  lc_numeric
-------------
  en_US.UTF-8

Copy of floats in "236.555" format will fail.
Copy of floats in "236,555" format works.....

rovero=# set lc_numeric='C';
SET
rovero=# show lc_numeric;
  lc_numeric
------------
  C

Copy of floats in "235.555" format works.....
