Isn't this a Windows problem rather than a Lua problem?  The problem 
being that various libraries secretly like to change the Floating Point 
Control register and don't always change it back.  You know the kind of 
thing, you call a DirectX function which calls some dodgy "high 
performance" graphics driver and now all of your NaNs are signalling 
and the floating point exceptions are of the non-useful kind.  Or your 
rounding mode has changed.
