This also makes no sense. If you want a DOUBLE PRECISION NaN, then use transfer(-1,1.d0). The conversion code for REAL to DOUBLE PRECISION properly handled this problem. The patch I submitted for INTEGER was for a code path into the REAL to INTEGER routine that no one had ever triggered. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37930
