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.
