574,Netbsd gets SIGFPE on alpha platform when calculating Inf,Infinoid,,"On alpha (for at least the netbsd OS), our PARROT_FLOATVAL_INF_POSITIVE macro results in SIGFPE, which causes some failing tests.

he++ submitted a patch with two related fixes.  The first is to catch SIGFPE properly and ignore it.  That's done with a signal() call at parrot init time, but there's a little confusion about the right place to put that.  That part of the patch is a work in progress.

The second fix is to use math.h defines for Inf/-Inf/NaN on alpha, rather than trying to calculate the values directly.
