Subject: [PATCH] #897: float vs double precision issues (frequency dialog not
 always working) puObject only provides float, not double, which causes
 precision/rounding issues with some numerical values (try "114.2"). Work
 around: obtain string value, and manually convert with proper double
 precision.
