Do you have any locale environment / language setting that uses "," as 
delimiter? I once ran into a very hard to find similar bug, where 
whenever I was using Qt somewhere, stream parsing in all code wanted my 
system locale (German, "1,5") instead of "1.5", happily changing all 
parameters when parsed.

I don't remember exactly, but there's a way to explicitly set the locale 
back in the code or an environment variable if you're working on a 
non-English system.

Best regards,
Armin
