Valentijn,

I just had one more thought. I wonder if there are some internationalization
issues going on here which may be why we could be experiencing different
results. In other words, your JVM is localized to your own locale instead of US
so the number formatting may not work as expected, perhaps.

I you are comfortable changing the runIDV script you can do something like

java -Duser.country=US -Duser.language=us

Best,
