Bug reference:      6069
Logged by:          Robert Kruus

PostgreSQL version: 9.0.4
Operating system:   FreeBSD 8.1 64 Bit
Description:        C function returns NaN when part of an SQL function
Details:

I have a c function in an external lib that have written and when called on
its own it works as expected:

SELECT dmc(13.433, 16.1, 9, 9.6, 21.59, 6);
        dmc
-------------------
 0.316972255706787

But if I include it as part of an SQL function which returns a custom type:

SELECT * FROM fwi_all(22.63, 13.433, 148.451, 62.34, 16.1, 93, 9.6, 21.59,
6);
       ffmc       | dmc |        dc        |         isi          | bui |
fwi |       sdmc
------------------+-----+------------------+----------------------+-----+---
--+------------------
 12.9909820556641 | NaN | 109.883583068848 | 1.83133633981925e-05 | NaN |
NaN | 28.2005863189697

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fwi_all(old_ffmc FLOAT, old_dmc FLOAT, old_dc
FLOAT, sdmc_old FLOAT, "temp" FLOAT, rh FLOAT, wind FLOAT, rain FLOAT, month
INTEGER)
RETURNS fwi AS
$BODY$
SELECT ffmc, dmc, dc, isi, bui, fwi(isi, bui), sdmc FROM (SELECT s1.*,
isi(s1.ffmc, $8), bui(s1.dmc, s1.dc) FROM (SELECT ffmc($1, $5, $6, $7, $8),
dmc($2, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9), dc($3, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9), sdmc($4, $5, $6,
$7, $8, $9)) s1) s2
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'sql' STABLE;

The dmc function returns a double, and the custom type consists of doubles
as well.

I initially noticed the error as the fwi type was returning a set of real
and I thought it may have been due type casting.
Adding explicit type casting throughout does not change the result.
