Reported to my SCO contacts.  However, I guarantee this won't be fixed in
7.1.4 (the next release), as it just went Gold.

Also, I suspect 7.1.3 and below have the bug, and are prevalent.

And, I just proved it on my 7.1.2 (AKA OpenUNIX 8.0.0) system:

$ cc -O -o test3 test3.c
$ ./test3
num=nan
errno=0
ptr=8049682, points to N
num=inf
errno=0
ptr=8049686, points to f
$ uname -a
OpenUNIX lerlsof 5 8.0.0 i386 x86at Caldera UNIX_SVR5
