Your simple program probably doesn't call setlocale() to set up the i18n stuff,
so it avoids the problem completely.
It seems that the locale that you are using (e.g. your LANG setting) uses
commas as decimal points.
(I had this problem in Glade itself. I had to temporarily set the locale to "C"
when saving the XML files so that it used '.' when outputting decimal points.)
