There's no reason strtod() should be thread-unsafe. It doesn't return
a static buffer or remember any state across calls.

In any case, I'm not familiar enough with the code to understand whether
using the system strtod(3) would avoid this assertion failure, which
appears to come from "Balloc" in mprec.c.
