I meant this, e.g. from "gypsy_moth":

===================================

This is the result of a printf(). My Fedora 9 writes out "nan",
every Sparc machine in the buildfarm writes out "NaN".
This is not an ECPG parser bug, only a difference in the
system libc.

However, on "mastodon", a Windows Server 2003 machine:

===================================

  [NO_PID]: sqlca: code: 0, state: 00000

===================================


This comes from this code in data.c, in ecpg_get_data():

                                case ECPGt_float:
                                case ECPGt_double:
                                        if (isarray && *pval == '"')
                                                dres = strtod(pval + 1,
&scan_length);
                                        else
                                                dres = strtod(pval,
&scan_length);

                                        if (isarray && *scan_length == '"')
                                                scan_length++;

                                        if (garbage_left(isarray,
scan_length, compat))
                                        {
                                                ecpg_raise(lineno,
ECPG_FLOAT_FORMAT,
                                                                  
ECPG_SQLSTATE_DATATYPE_MISMATCH, pval);
                                                return (false);
                                        }

It seems Windows doesn't accept "NaN" in strtod(). Is it really the case?
