We've had this discussion before.  Annex G, which I do acknowledge
as informative, states:

The * and / operators satisfy the following infinity properties for
all real, imaginary, and complex operands:319)

-- if one operand is an infinity and the other operand is a nonzero
   finite number or an infinity, then the result of the * operator
   is an infinity;

I'll note the above comes from n1124.pdf (page 468).  Perhaps,
the actual C99 standard says something else.

-nan is not an infinity.
