Not in the library : I can reproduce your bug without any call to atof() 
or other functions of the kind:

float f;
int i,j;
i=(int) (1.13*100.0);
f=1.13*100.0;
j=(int) f;
printf("%d %d\n",i,j);


prints 112 113...

And this is not because you don't have a FPU : I got a 486DX.
I'd say this is a parsing problem, with the way DJGPP represents 
internally floating point numbers : 

in 
(int) (1.13*100.0)
the result of the multiply seems to be kept with no enough precision

whilst in 
f=1.13*100.0
everything is allright.
