I was just about to propose exactly that fix. This undef'ing of isnan
traces back to Andrew's 2006 commit ea73a78b0. I think perhaps that's not
necessary with any still-supported version of Perl; I see no evidence on
my machines that any Perl header #defines isnan. There is this bit:
#ifdef UNDER_CE
int isnan(double d);
#endif
which would cause trouble if isnan is a macro, but we can hope that
that doesn't apply to us.
