Exponent(inf) trouble

Summary
The blog post discusses the varying outputs of a Fortran program compiled across five different compilers on a Linux x86_64 system when handling the representation of infinity (INF). It raises questions about standard conformity and potential compiler bugs due to the discrepancies in results reported by different compilers such as gfortran, ifort, and g95. The author seeks feedback on which scenario applies to the observed behavior.
