Thanks for the bug report. Are you using the irix compiler?
If so, is this the problem? (from the cc manpage),

 IEEE_comparisons[=(OFF|ON)] Force all comparisons to yield
   results conforming to the IEEE 754 standard for NaN and Inf operands.
   If this option is OFF (the default case), certain optimizations will
   produce non- IEEE results for comparisons involving NaN and Inf
   values, e.g. 'x==x' will be treated as TRUE without executing a test.
