[fpc-pascal] Nan values SIGFPE exception on 64 bit

I encounter a strange difference in the behaviour of NaN values between windows 32 and 64 bit. Have a look at the following program:
-----------------------
program NanExample;
uses
math;
var
a, b, c: Double;
begin
a := 0.0/0.0;
b := 0.0/0.0;
c := max(a,b);
if IsNan(c) then
WriteLn('NaN');
end.
-----------------------
On 32 bit this writes 'NaN' as expected. On 64 bit I get an SIGFPE exception on the max-function. Is there some specific compiler setting that I should be aware of to make this work on 64 bit?
Kind regards,
Birger Jansen
