Thanks for the patch. I've disabled the tests for hppa in git, and it will be included in the next upload.

The upstream issue is still open, and this change was recently included: https://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/changeset/13707 The isnan tests are more reliable than the string representation of the NaN values. Something like that may be an option. Kind Regards, Bas -- GPG Key ID: 4096R/6750F10AE88D4AF1 Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1
