I looked at this a bit.
On x86 the appended program prints the `int' value.
So I think the C++ compiler translates `(int) NaN' differently from
the Java compiler.

I haven't looked into it more deeply than this.  It does suggest that
the f2* and d2* instructions in the interpreter might need to be
modified to handle the special cases.

Are you interested in researching this a bit more?
