I don't get the NAN as the first element, but 12.34 (as on the Mac).

This is a bug with arrays of unboxed Reals on the Sun. It's not a problem
with reading reals, but a more basic problem. For example
-------------------------
module t
import StdEnv
Start ::  (Int, {#Real})
Start
    =   usize {1.0}
-------------------------
also produces the wrong result. We'll fix this in the next release.
