Summary: string->number truncates floating-point numbers

Initial Comment:
Here is what I see on my system (Linux, SuSE 7.3), scsh compiled from source:

Welcome to scsh 0.6.3 (Health Reform)
Type ,? for help.
> (string->number "1.23456789")
1.23457

I checked that this does not occur in Scheme48 versions 0.57 or 0.53.

Cheers,

          Alex

Scsh opens a different package for floating point arithmetic
(FLOATNUMS). This package is known to have problems with the
external representation. I don't know when we will have time
to fix this.
