When calculating large results with pow, it returns nan instead of inf.
This causes one check in postgresql to fail.
For example: pow(-1004.3, 1e200) returns nan on Haiku, while inf is
expected.
I created a small test program that shows the behaviour and attached it to
this ticket.
Ingo told me that the problem is probably in glibc, but I'm not sure which
component to select from the list.
