[Bug c/25498] New: atof conversion error

["mike dot c at u-s-merchants dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

char currConv[9];
        float currConvf;
        memset(currConv, '\0', sizeof(currConv));
        memcpy(currConv, '60342935', 8);
        currConv[8] = 0;
        currConvf = atof(currConv);

// currConvf gets assigned value of 60342936 when string 60342935 is converted
to float with atof
// if currConvf is declared type double instead of float, the value is assigned
 // correctly:  60342935  (try in debugger)
// Thanks.
