The same fix (10-10-2010) went into stdfn.c in both 4.4 and 4.5
Note that this fix only deals with initializing the NaN variable internally.
It does not correct for any oddities in the C-language support library.
I.e., if the library routines fscanf() and atod() cannot deal with the
string "NaN" in an input file, that's a separate problem.  
I don't know whether or not that is an issue with MinGW.

What is the symptom?   
If you start the program and say "print NaN", what does it show?
