How to get my doubles??

I think there may be a bug in fscanf. When I try to read a double from
a file using 

fscanf(io,"Pattern %lf\n",&my_var);

it reads *GARBAGE* !!
I also tried several variations, as suggested by RTFM:
instead of %lf, neither %F, %lg, %G, %le, %E seem to work.

In contrast, reading a float *DOES* work, so I know its not my
input file.
I compiled with -g -O , but leaving them out makes *NO* difference.
