NaN is not exact number. So, NaN should not equals itself. Additionaly,
NaN == NaN is false in C. You can see behavior of C as follows.

$ cat nan.c
int main() {double d;d=(-1e300*1e300)/(1e300*1e300);if (d==d) return 1;
else return 2;}
$ gcc nan.c; ./a.out; echo $?
2
$

That $nan == $nan should be true. (like it is with 5.3)

Description:
------------
There is == operator's problem dealing with NaN(Not a Number) in PHP
5.3.0alpha1. This behavior is different with PHP 5.0.0-5.2.6, so this is
compatibility problem.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$nan = (-1e300*1e300)/(1e300*1e300); // float(NAN)

var_dump($nan=='');
var_dump($nan==0.5);
var_dump($nan==50);
var_dump($nan=='500');
var_dump($nan=='abc');
var_dump($nan==$nan);

Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)
bool(false)
bool(false)
bool(false)
bool(false)
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(true)
