According to Jeff Johnston on 2/21/2008 8:59 AM:
|> strtod is required to parse out the longest sequence of the expected

And another one - strtod("nan()", ptr) should consume the () (per C99, the
n-char-sequence between the literal () is optional, not required).
Without the patch, ptr is set to str+3 instead of str+5.  OK to apply?

	Fix strtod("nan()", ptr).
	* libc/stdlib/gdtoa-hexnan.c (hexnan): When the optional
	n-char-sequence is omitted, still parse the ().

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
