I ran into this problem a little while ago too.

The reason you're number is corrupted is that when you pass a float as an
argument it gets converted to a double before it gets put on the
stack.

Therefore there are two solutions:
1. Change the defintion of the arguments in the receiving function to be 
   doubles.

2. Pass around pointers to floats instead of actual floats.
