Oh; OK, thanks for the response. Sorry, I've used +/- inf and NaN values in other languages and was under the impression inf != inf under IEEE 754. I think this requires explicitly testing for infinity then. For anyone interested, I've written a test which seems to work well. Sub-normals I don't think are an issue since it doesn't deal with the binary representation (it was never intended to be computationally efficient). It's at: http://code.google.com/p/openmalaria/source/browse/trunk/test/compareOutputsFl
