Hi there. 

DJGPP is a godsend. 

But, I've found something that might qualify as a bug, and I was 
wondering if it really is.... 

I've looked at the recommended places, and found no mention of it. But I 
suppose its easy to miss.

It might be due to the fact that I'm using v2.00, if so, then, oops.

Anyways... The following program gives my system a wedgie.

---- snip snip ---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
  double n;

  memset(&n,0xFF,sizeof(double));  /* contrived, sure */
  printf("%f\n",n);
}

---- snip snip ---

It should print NaN, judging by doprnt.c, but does not. Well, it did when 
I compiled it like: gcc myprog.c doprnt.c.

Please respond via email, as the nntp server out here is dead. 

Thanks in advance....

Phil
