OK, so I think you are at the line
# define R_FINITE(x) ((x) != R_NaReal)
in Arith.h, and that is clearly inadequate (although it should have
caught the NA, I think). Can you please try replacing that line by
static int R_FINITE(double x) {
return !isnan(x) & (x != R_PosInf) & (x != R_NegInf);
}
and try those tests again.
(Kurt: looks like finite can be broken in more ways than one. I suggest
return(finite(1./0.) & finite(0./0.) & finite(-1./0.)) in aclocal.m4,
and if FINITE_BROKEN going directly to some function like the above, and not
trying to be efficient, just right!)
