awk: temporarily fix for NaN() exceptions on 386

problem is NaN() produces a SNaN, not a QNaN... and on the 387,
storing 80 bit SNaN in register to a 64-bit memory destination
traps.

SNaN/QNaN encoding is machine specific. mips has the qiet/signaling
bit inverted.

disabling fp exception in main() now, but that sucks.

i think the best solution would be to not even call strtod() in
is_number() but just write a regex or a little state machine that
will only accept numbers without nan and ±inf.

that might even make it faster and is more robust than relying on
the os's strtod() details.
