However, on Windows (have tried on Mac, Linux) I get the following
behaviour:
inf = 1e10000
inf
1.0
while I would have expected:
1.#INF
On my Windows machine with 2.2.1, I get exactly what you expected:
1e10000
1.#INF
inf=1e10000
inf
1.#INF
If you get wrong behavior on a later version, then a bug has been
introduced somewhere, even perhaps in VC 7, used for 2.4.

On my Windows machine, both 2.3.3 and 2.4 give the same (expected) result:
>>> 1e10000
1.#INF
