NetBSD/ppc 2.0 beta, gcc 3.3.3:
d = 1.79769e+308         f = inf         g=inf
d = 1    f = 7fefffff    g=ffffffff
f.f = 3.40282e+38        f.i = 7f7fffff

OpenBSD/sparc 3.4, gcc 2.95.2
d = 1.79769e+308         f = Inf         g=Inf
d = 7fefffff     f = ffffffff    g=7f800000
f.f = 3.40282e+38        f.i = 7f7fffff

Darwin 6.8, apple cc
d = 1.79769e+308         f = Inf         g=Inf
d = 7fefffff     f = ffffffff    g=7f800000
f.f = 3.40282e+38        f.i = 7f7fffff

the behavior seems consistent to me
what is the result at your place?
