Well, that's definitely a problem, but what PG version are you testing
on what platform? I get this using CVS HEAD on Fedora 9, Darwin, and
HPUX:
regression=# select 'infinity'::float8::float4;
float4
----------
Infinity
(1 row)
I suspect that you aren't getting true "Infinity" from
'infinity'::float8 in the first place, but some large number,
which then fails to fit into float4.
