Can you comment as to whether the Mantis 7260 patch for handling Nan in the Float comparison primitives should be included in the VMMaker package? I think that the answer is yes, but I'm not certain if there might be side effects for existing code.
The changes should be included. They won't have an effect on any code unless that code is using NaNs in comparisons. And wherever these are used the behavior is currently very much undefined and not IEEE754 compliant.
