Summary: wxStrtod() will always return zero

Initial Comment:
Near as I can tell, the only affect Mac OSX version 10.2 and older.  The routine counts the digits of the number and then uses the O/S strtod() to convert the number.

Unfortuantely, the pointer that gets passed to the strod() function is pointing to the final null terminator of the input string, so nothing ever gets converted.

The line is error in wxchar.cpp is:

  wxString data(nptr, nptr-start);

This should probably be changed to:

  wxString data(start, nptr-start);

I've fixed it in 2.8 branch as suggested but in HEAD this code doesn't
exist any more as OS X 10.2 is not supported (10.3.something or later is
required).

Thanks for your report!
