The '1.06...e-314' number in the gdb output is interesting: it indicates a
byte-ordering issue, though maybe that issue is only pertinent to gdb itself.
On a little-endian machine:
>>> struct.pack('<d', 1.0604798301039825e-314)
'\x00\x00\xf0\x7f\x00\x00\x00\x00'
>>> struct.pack('<d', float('inf'))
'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xf0\x7f'
Same bytes, different order. This may indicate some kind of float / double
mismatch somewhere, or a byte-ordering issue.
