+This function mis-parses strings with leading @samp{+} on some old platforms:
+Old versions of Linux.
+
+@item
+This function returns a wrong end pointer on some old platforms.

+@item
+This function consumes whitespace even when there is nothing that should
+be parsed on some platforms:
+IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1.
+
+@item
+This function allows whitespace between @samp{e} and the exponent on
+some platforms:
+HP-UX 11.11, IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 4.0.
