[PD] symbol to float

[Jack]

Yes it is a bug in my abs, the problem seems to come from the [i ]
object in [pd symbol2int] which return float -2.14748e+09 if you send
float 6.89756e+14.
I have replaced it with [f ] and the result of the symbol
"8.689756393432365" is now 8.68976 which now looks correct.
Patchs are attached.
