Emilio,

Well, I don't know what equations you are using, but I can't imagine getting
x and y values in meters that small unless you were *right at* the origin
which is not the case.  Perhaps you don't understand the units required by,
and/or produced by the equations you are applying?  When I use PROJ.4 to
do the reprojection (as GDAL does underneath) I get:

cs2cs -I +proj=aeqd +lat_0=-6.2500000000005 +lon_0=36.5166666666677
  +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs
  +to +proj=latlong +datum=WGS84
6d32'32.13"W 36d42'16.93"N
-4196092.49     5007369.96 0.00

Make sure you aren't mixing up longitude and latitude.  GDAL and PROJ.4
default to long/lat order while the location seems coincidentally near
the origin of the projection *if* you reversed the ordinates.

Best regards,
