    Issue #7632: Fix a serious wrong output bug for string -> float conversion.
    Also remove some now unused variables, and add comments clarifying the
    possible outputs of the parsing section of _Py_dg_strtod.  Thanks
    Eric Smith for reviewing.

    Fix multiple uses of variable 'L' in _Py_dg_strtod, where one use requires an unsigned long and the other a signed long.  See also r77421.
