Hello,

I just downloaded the release candidate OpenMCL Version 1.0-rc1-050922
(DarwinPPC32) to check out if the callback bugs I previously reported[1]
were fixed. Apparently they are but there's a new one. Using the same
example as before:

? (external-call "_expect_double" :address return-double)
f(42.0) => 42.000000
Lisp side got: 42.0D0
NIL
? (external-call "_expect_float" :address return-float)
f(42.0f) => 51539608576.678391
Lisp side got: 42.0
NIL

Doubles work, and C floats are being converted to Lisp single floats
correctly, but (and this is a regression, it worked before as you can
see in my original bug report), the convertion from Lisp single floats
to C floats is not working as you can see.

Rereading your reply I see that this is probably a known issue already,
but still...
