isnan()

[Robert Schweikert]

There's a comment in the file about the processors that comply with IEEE

"IEEE compliant processors are X86, X86-64, Itanium, Sparc, HP-Alpha,
IBM-Power"

MIPS and PA-RISC are reversed.

If you initialize a double with an SNaN (0x7FFBFFFFFFFFFFFF) and then
call the isnan() function supplied by glibc (any C RTE I've tested for
that matter) the function returns false, i.e. SNaN is not recognized as
a NaN, which IMHO it shold be.

Thanks,
Robert
