I can confirm the problem. Fix: Add in the first part of the script:

# setting environment, so that awk works properly in all languages
unset LC_ALL
export LC_NUMERIC=C

It's a LOCALE problem which changes '.' to ',' in certain locales.
Somehow we forgot to add above to this scripts (in other scripts
this fix was done time ago).

Fixed in CVS for 6.3 and 6.2-release branch.
