Thanks for the report.  This was on ia64, correct?

Is savannah running a new enough CVS server (according to
https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?4446, this would be 1.12.14+) that
understands the new 'cvs admin --execute' command?  Otherwise, can someone
(Jim?) log in and make this change?  test-closein.sh is the only broken
script in gnulib/tests at the moment.

Bruno Haible wrote the isnanl replacement.  Care to enlighten us how the
ia64 long double is laid out in memory?  I'm looking at google results,
such as http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2000-08/msg00589.html as starters.
