#1 locale problems with decimal delimiter ","

[Werner Hoch]

Hi there,

I've installed version 4.0.6 of zhu3d on openSUSE 11.0.

With the german locale for LC_NUMERIC zhu3d crashes sometimes and the demos don't run properly.

If I set LC_NUMERIC=C zh3ud works fine.

Background: In Germany we are using a komma "," as decimal delimiter. The dot "." is not treated as decimal delimiter.

HTH

Here is a patch for the bug that works for me on a Linux System.
