[AOLSERVER] Porting (aol 2.2 to aol 3.3.1)

[David Valentine]

I don't know if this is a porting problem, or a c problem. Old server was
on a Dec Alpha. Recompiled code is on
We have some old code I'm moving up to the latest AOLserver.

The old code is trying to convert a string to a float and failing
miserably.
  float north, south, west, east;
... set up select
  row = Ns_DbSelect(dbh[0], sql);
  while (Ns_DbGetRow(dbh[0], row) == NS_OK) {
 Ns_Log(Notice, "west %s",Ns_SetGet(row, "west_bounding_coor"));
        sscanf(Ns_SetGet(row, "west_bounding_coor"), "%f", &west);
        Ns_Log(Notice, "scanf|w %f", west);
   }

Any ideas?
