Bug description

The ocaml runtime and Unix math runtime return different results for hypot(nan, infinity).

On Unix (Linux and OpenBSD), hypot(infinity, nan) returns infinity. The manual says this is as designed.

The ocaml runtime, when HAS_C99_FLOAT_OPS is not defined, returns nan.

I don't think this is important, but I thought I should point out the inconsistency.
