I'm getting some failures in the regression tests on 8.2beta1 on IRIX.
It looks like IRIX (or at least some versions) has a broken strtod.

The float4 and float8 tests fail,  I've attached a patch to
tools/adt/float.c that fixes the problem along with the regression output.

As a side note,could float4in not be refactored to just call float8in followed 
by CheckFloat4Val and maybe some error message changes?
The two functions have a lot of duplicated code.

IRIX 6.5.22m
uname -R = 6.5 6.5.22m
