   *    X is evaluated more than once.
   * Some platforms have better way to spell this, so expect some #ifdef'ery.
+  *
+  * OpenBSD uses 'isinf()' because a compiler bug on that platform causes
+  * the longer macro version to be mis-compiled. This isn't optimal, and 
+  * should be removed once a newer compiler is available on that platform.
+  * The system that had the failure was running OpenBSD 3.2 on Intel, with
+  * gcc 2.95.3.
+  *
+  * According to Tim's checkin, the FreeBSD systems use isinf() to work 
+  * around a FPE bug on that platform.
