Hi.  Thanks for the report.  Which gcc version do you use?  We've seen
this before, and then it was a gcc bug:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.gpg.gnutls.devel/2495/focus=2933
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19933

Changing the code the way you proposed will break on many platforms, so
it is not an option:

cfg/shared.c:727: error: called object ‘+Inf’ is not a function

Does either of the suggested fix in the thread above solve the problem
for you?
