The errors were the following:
template1=# SELECT 'NaN'::float4;
ERROR: 22003: type "real" value out of range: overflow
LOCATION: CheckFloat4Val, float.c:219
The code around float.c:219 looks like this:
if (fabs(val) > FLOAT4_MAX)
ereport(ERROR,
(errcode(ERRCODE_NUMERIC_VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE),
errmsg("type \"real\" value out of range:
overflow")));
I wonder what a debugging printf() would show for val, fabs(val),
and FLOAT4_MAX here.
