It is likely that this is an error with the trunc function. I bet that trunc may not be returning a valid value and showing this problem. When we fixed it for MacOS X, it was a requirement that we needed to add some GNU flags (-D_GNU_SOURCE) to make trunc work right. The other option to fix it was to override the trunc function with our own version. You may look into this and see if it is a similar problem.

Hi,

We are experiencing strange behavior in scalar interactor as stated in Mr.
Ned Pilburn's posting on the same problem back in July 30, 2003. Thus, the
MIN and MAX for the Scalar Interactor would be set to 2.7e-312 and
3.95e-323 respectively when we use Stepper or Slider as interactor style.
However, if we change the interactor style to Text, the scalar interactor
will behave properly. To my understanding, Scalar Interactor (which
stepper and slider interactors are based upon) and Value Interactor (which
text interactor is based) have totally different mechanism of storing and
extracting information. I shall be grateful if somebody could teach me
exactly how those stuffs work.

Thanks!
