Can some explain the strange output from this program?

Never mind, it was something fairly obvious...

Ok, this is QUITE interesting...

Here is the output compiling from Xcode:

5.8750 = '00' '00' 'bc' '40'
1.3125 = 'c8' 'f7' 'bf' '5f'
8.7500 = 'c8' 'f7' 'bf' '5f'
6.0625 = 'ad' '05' 'd9' '93'
Program ended with exit code: 0

And, NOW, here is the output I get from compiling with gcc 4.8.4 on Ubuntu 14.04:

5.8750 = '00' '00' 'bc' '40'
1.3125 = '00' '00' '00' '00'
8.7500 = '00' '00' '00' '00'
6.0625 = '00' '00' '00' '00'
