Those two lines were identical.

Although the two .pdf files were different in binary, they look alike
on paper, at least on quick inspection.

There *is* a problem however, which I think I pointed out in the past:
In 12.11.2 (b), hexadecimal form, it states that the exponent field is
optional.  I don't know about C99, but in 754-2008 it is *required*.

Well, atof() does accept hex literals without an exponent, so perhaps
it is ok -- but be careful when mentioning 754-2008 here.
