I tested your example with a small C program. I got  -nan
using hardware (Pentium) floating-point. I guess you should
complain to Intel  

When you are dealing with nan's, does it really
matter whether you have -nan or +nan. Either way the
result is "not a number", "undefined", "doesn't exist" etc.
If it's not even a number, how can -1 * "not a number"
have any meaning?
