sorry about this... more correctly stated, the above should read as follows.
Looking at IEEE 754, it seems that, for NaN, the following bit mask
would be correct (x means any of 0 or 1):
'x111111111xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' - at least for a quiet
(non-signalled) NaN.
I suspect Squeak intentionally generates a quiet NaN.
Again, comments?
Best,
Michael
