Ironruby core - Jan 2009 - Kernel#puts and Kernel#print with NaN and Infinity values

Hello,

while I was filing a bug report regarding a different behaviour of
Math#hypot compared to the one verified under MRI 1.8.6 (see
http://is.gd/eGHa), I noticed that when a Float instance holds the
values NaN or Infinity then both Kernel#puts and Kernel#print emit
strings localized according to the language settings of the underlying
system. See below, returned strings are in Italian:


IronRuby (SVN r181)
>>> 0.0 / 0
=> NaN
>>> printf("%s", 0.0 / 0)
NaN=> nil
>>> puts 0.0 / 0
Non un numero reale
=> nil
>>> 1.0 / 0
=> Infinity
>>> printf("%s", 1.0 / 0)
Infinity=> nil
>>> puts 1.0 / 0
+Infinito
=> nil


MRI 1.8.6
irb(main):001:0> 0.0 / 0
=> NaN
irb(main):002:0> printf("%s", 0.0 / 0)
NaN=> nil
irb(main):003:0> puts 0.0 / 0
NaN
=> nil
irb(main):004:0> 1.0 / 0
=> Infinity
irb(main):005:0> printf("%s", 1.0 / 0)
Infinity=> nil
irb(main):006:0> puts 1.0 / 0
Infinity


Should this be considered a bug?
