Created attachment 57236 Sample file to demontrate problem

xkbcomp has problems with shapes, that contain negative floating point values.

To reproduce: See attachment file.

$ xkbcomp sample.xkb sample2.xkm
$ xkbcomp sample2.xkb sample3.xkb

$ xkbcomp sample3.xkb syntax error: line 10 of sample3.xkb last scanned symbol is: corner Errors encountered in sample3.xkb; not compiled.

Compare original file (sample.xkb) with sample3.xkb. While positive floating points and negative integers pose no problem, negative floating point values become something like -3.-4 which makes no sense and gets a syntax error.
