As I understand the comments on that bug, the question there was whether
other implementations allow 'sleep inf', and not whether strtod() is
able to parse "inf".  It may well be that there is a non-GNU sleep that
parses "inf" but not "infinity" because it hand-rolls its own parser
instead of using strtod().
