Your C output distinguishes -nan from +nan but apparently the use of
signbit() doesn't work as I expect on MinGW.
I am going to back down from messing with this for a little while.
Instead I am going to commit my planned changes to a branch for safekeeping.
Eli, I'd appreciate your reviewing things in depth and deciding if you wish
to produce a patch or not. If you do, we'll put it in another branch for
safekeeping and then review both yours and mine later, when the issue
becomes unbearable.
Thanks,
Arnold
