Strange issue when using ccall

Hello everyone.

I am writing a small Julia module that call external C libraries from a third-party software package/API.
The module appears to be working correctly. However when I include other modules (
I have tested with both ProfileView and PyPlot) one of the C functions stops to work correctly

The relevant Julia code is:

    d = Float32[1]
    ret = ccall((:sf_histfloat,"libdrsf"),Bool,
                (Ptr{UInt8},Ptr{UInt8},Ptr{Cfloat}),file.rsf,"d$i",d)

I have changed the source code of the function called by sf_histfloat (that really do the work)
to print the parameters that it receives (from julia) and its results

bool sf_simtab_getfloat (sf_simtab table, const char* key,/*@out@*/ float* par)
/*< extract a float parameter from the table >*/
{
    char* val;
    double f;

    val = sf_simtab_get(table,key);
    if (NULL == val) return false;
    fprintf(stderr,"simtab_getfloat: val=%s key=%s\n",val,key);
    errno = 0;
    f = strtod(val,NULL);
    fprintf(stderr,"simtab_getfloat: val=%s f=%f\n",val, f);
    if (ERANGE == errno || f < -FLT_MAX || f > FLT_MAX) return false;
    
    *par = (float) f;
    return true;
}
bool sf_histfloat (sf_file file, const char* key,/*@out@*/ float* par) 
/*< read a float parameter from file >*/
{
    return sf_simtab_getfloat (file->pars,key,par);
}

Running the source code without including any extra modules besides the one that contain the ccall call I got this result
for the fprintf results of the previous C function:

simtab_getfloat: val=0.5 key=d1
simtab_getfloat: val=0.5 f=0.500000

That is the correct result. After including any of the modules (ProfileView or PyPlot). Just to be clear, I am only including the modules I am not calling any function from these modules.

simtab_getfloat: val=0.5 key=d1
simtab_getfloat: val=0.5 f=0,000000

I googled if the strtod function uses any environment variable. However I cannot find any reference to that. I also got problems if trying to use both modules at the same time. I got a Julia Segfault

I am using Julia v0.6 (downloaded from the julialang website).

I know that the C function is working, even in Julia. However if include other modules I got these strange results
