If I do the same thing WITHOUT the feenableexcept, it works fine.
Perhaps strtod catches an exception and then applies a different
method in some cases, or perhaps it wants exceptions off and
deals with things its own way.

If I include the feenableexcept, I get the same behavior you
reported (in 32-bit; I did not test 64-bit).
