Hmm. 
Using

#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc, cahr **argv){
char *endp;

  strtod("$.", &endp);
  return 0;
}

I am unable to reproduce any SIGNAL. endp simply points
to the string constant. You might have blown up
something before, or are misinterpreting the backtrace,
which I do not understand.
