Okay, the problem is in the Windows source code.  I put "Warning" statements
to print the ADC_Bailout value, where the token for adc_bailout is parsed,
and where the adc_bailout is set to its default value of 1.0/255.0.  So
which ran first?  Of course, the parsed version.  So the parsed adc_bailout
gets overwritten with the default value.  I can easily fix this in my
unofficial build, but how do I report a bug to the authors?  This bug has
been around since at least version 3.1.
