I don't really know this assembly language, but I looked up fldl and my source said it is a floating double load. The only reasons that I can think of for that to result in a NAN are:
1. There really was a NAN there to load
2. The address in question is not correctly aligned in core to be treated as a double.

NAN(3) BSD Library Functions Manual NAN(3)
NAME
nan, nanf, nanl -- quiet NaNs
LIBRARY
Math Library (libm, -lm)
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double
nan(const char *s);
float
nanf(const char *s);
long double
nanl(const char *s);
DESCRIPTION
The NAN macro expands to a quiet NaN (Not A Number). Similarly, each of the nan(), nanf(), and nanl() functions generate a quiet NaN value
without raising an invalid exception. The argument s should point to either an empty string or a hexadecimal representation of a non-nega-
tive integer (e.g., "0x1234".) In the latter case, the integer is encoded in some free bits in the representation of the NaN, which some-
times store machine-specific information about why a particular NaN was generated. There are 22 such bits available for float variables, 51
bits for double variables, and at least 51 bits for a long double. If s is improperly formatted or represents an integer that is too large,
then the particular encoding of the quiet NaN that is returned is indeterminate.
COMPATIBILITY
Calling these functions with a non-empty string isn't portable. Another operating system may translate the string into a different NaN
encoding, and furthermore, the meaning of a given NaN encoding varies across machine architectures. If you understood the innards of a par-
ticular platform well enough to know what string to use, then you would have no need for these functions anyway, so don't use them. Use the
NAN macro instead.
SEE ALSO
fenv(3), ieee(3), isnan(3), math(3), strtod(3)
STANDARDS
The nan(), nanf(), and nanl() functions and the NAN macro conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').
