The change in the trunk seems like a good backport candidate, it fixes an issue with float conversion on OSX compared to other platforms. That said, I don't like the patch. This makes the current behaviour of converting float NaN's to 0 the defined behaviour, which feels wrong (he says without having the slightest idea of what the relevant standards might say about this). Shouldn't this raise an exception instead of silently converting?
