I'm not sure what to suggest, even K&R (the ultimate C reference) says 
that atof() should return a double:

   double atof(const char *s)
       atof converts s to double; it is equivalent to
       strtod(s, (char**)NULL).

I have created a bug about this:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=678

Could you please add yourself to the CC of the bug, and add an example 
of a GetMap request (at least the BBOX part) where the digits are 
truncated... we'll continue the discussion there.
