Well, no.  The source file I was looking at (lib/libm/src/s_frexp.c)
isn't used; instead, a different one in libc (!) is; OpenBSD and
FreeBSD use one implementation there and NetBSD another (which latter
was broken for denormalized numbers until two days ago, but that's
beside the point), and neither of them set *exp on inf/nan.

Glibc, however, does set *exp to 0.  The world makes more sense now,
because non-pure-functional hash functions are clearly bad.
