This occurs because dmd's parser calls strtold from the c runtime to parse
floats.
apparently ubuntu 12.04 version of the runtime does mess this up.

Note that one possible solution to this bug would be to use a custom strtold
implementation rather than relying on the runtime. For reference, here is one
such function implemented in native D code:

This code:

void main()
{
    import std.stdio : writeln;
    writeln(double(0x0.0123p-1022)); // Prints 64+64i, should print 64+0i
}


compiles just fine on my machine (Ubunutu 20.04.4).
