Hmm, I was about to contradict you, because it works fine on my Linux
and OS X machines:
regression=# select 'inf'::float8;
float8
----------
Infinity
(1 row)
but further experimentation says that this doesn't work on my ancient
HPUX box; and you're complaining about Windows. So what we've got here
is a platform dependency in the behavior of strtod(). I don't think
we can promise to hide all such dependencies, but maybe it'd be a good
idea to take care of this particular one.
