According to Joseph:
"My guess is that the overflow of yn has involved an internal computation
such as Inf - Inf or Inf / Inf that generated NaNs.  It looks rather like
the ynl code that tries to stop this happening is confused about
GET_LDOUBLE_WORDS, which appears to set the sign+exponent value to a
*sign-extended* value (so 0xffffffff not 0xffff for -Inf)."
