Bug#856064: libdbd-mysql-perl: reads of floats currupted as 0

[Brian May]

Package: libdbd-mysql-perl
Version: 4.041-1
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

When reading floats from mysql, they are always read as 0.

As values are currupted and as it is the cause of a grave bug in another
package, I have set this to grave.

Possibly only happens in Perl's tainted mode; I have asked for
confirmation.
