Can anyone tell me what the following STD_ERR outputs mean:

a) <search_likelihood>-inf</search_likelihood>
b) <search_likelihood>-1.#INF00000000000</search_likelihood>

Seems like a) produces a "Validate Error" and b) produces "Completed and validated"...

I note that a) seems to be frequent on Linux and Mac OS X machines and b) happens on Windows (at least for the WUs I have examined). This is for the nbody v1.04 app on all machines.

Here is one example with both Linux / Mac and Windows results:
