I don't know if this is still an issue, but there's been a problem in
the past, specific to the VAX because of its different floating point
implementation, where if awk sees a string token beginning with the
characters "nan", case independent, it'll read it as a NaN float, and
promptly dump core.

May not be relevant - it's been a while since I had a VAX that could run
NetBSD - but just thought I'd mention it.  :)
