Sorry I forgot to mention that this happened under RedHat 7.2
with the gdb version that comes with RedHat 7.2.

The good news is that it seems to have gone away with gdb 5.2 -
I compiled gdb5.2 myself, and so far I have not been able to reproduce the
bug - gdb always prints $5 = -3.40282347e+38, just as expected.

Thanks a lot for your quick responses!
Gab.
