*) float4/float8 regression failures on NaN and inf I/O.
You will see regression failures for the float4 and float8 regression
tests on the NaN and inf I/O functions. This is due to a bug in SCO's strtod
library function on BOTH UnixWare and OpenServer. It's slated to be fixed
in the first maintenance / update for UnixWare 7.1.4, and probably the
next MP/UP for OpenServer 5.0.7 (I'm not sure on the OSR side as of the time
I'm writing this (2004-05-14).
You might also see Join test failures due to ordering differences, and these
are ok.
