Comment (by rhaas):

 Neither int() nor real() helps (had already tried this yesterday but not
 included in the example parfile, sorry). I get:
 {{{
 WARNING level 0 in thorn Cactus processor 0 host horizon.tapir.caltech.edu
   (line 1 of env):
   -> Unknown func: int(STRING)
 }}}
 and the same for real(). If I directly put int(1.5) in the partfile then
 that works. Since the functions only accept numeric types, is real()
 pretty much a pass-through (like the unary "+" in C)?
