float and double NaN are converted to minimum integral values
             instead of zero as prescribed in the Java Language Specification:

             A narrowing conversion of a floating-point number to an integral
             type T takes two steps:

             1. In the first step, the floating point number is converted
                either to a long, if T is long, or to an int, if T is byte,
                short, char, or int, as follows:

                - if the floating-point number is NaN (section 4.2.3), the
                  result of the first step of the conversion is an int or
                  long 0.

                ...

             2. In the second step:

                - if T is int or long, the result of the conversion is the
                  result of the first step.

                - if T is byte, char, or short, the result of the conversion
                  is the result of a narrowing conversion to type T (section
                  5.1.3) of the result of the first step.

             (Java Language Specification, section 5.1.3)

Tests: execution of the following test

public class test
{
public static void main(String argv[])
{
float zero = 0.0f;
float f = zero / zero;
double d = f;

System.out.println(f);
System.out.println((byte) f);
System.out.println((short) f);
System.out.println((char) f);
System.out.println((int) f);
System.out.println((long) f);

System.out.println(d);
System.out.println((byte) d);
System.out.println((short) d);
System.out.println((char) d);
System.out.println((int) d);
System.out.println((long) d);
}
}

produces such output:

NaN
-1
-1

NaN
-1

instead of expected:
