 Calling std library functions (especially those returning anything except 
 "int") without the appropriate header include is a bug in your program, and 
 has nothing to do with FreeBSD or any other OS.  You would get similar errors 
 from a Windows C compiler.
 
 This particular instance is documented in the SYNOPSIS section of the man page
 for atof.
 
 This bug would also have been picked up by compiling with the "-Wall" flag.
 
 This PR can be closed.
