I'd say that it comes from the fact that in ocaml syntax '_' can be used
to separate blocks of numerals in integer and float literals:
the first integer read by sscanf is "1_" and not "1". There might be a
workaround by using %[0-9] instead of %d (and int_of_string in the final
computation of course).
