The Debian box uses an ARM processor, so there's that difference too.
FWIW, I tried this on MacOSX 10.6 with an Intel Xeon and it also
seems to suppress sNaNs.

works for me, too:
In [9]: x = cast_int2float(0x7ff80001)
In [10]: hex(cast_float2int(x))
Out[10]: '0x7ff80001'
In [11]: x = cast_int2float(0x7ff1)
In [12]: hex(cast_float2int(x))
Out[12]: '0x7ff1'

'0x7ff80001'
I got '0x7ff1'.

I'm trying to understand some unexpected behaviour with float NANs in
Python 3.5.
Background: in IEEE-754 maths, NANs (Not A Number) come in two flavours,
so called "quiet NANs" and "signalling NANs". By default, arithmetic
operations on qnans return a qnan; operations on snans "signal", which
