I get the error (or variant) for 7.4 -> 8.2 on Debian Linux.  8.3 and HEAD work.

I see this in the 8.3 release notes:

Fix float4/float8 to handle Infinity and NAN (Not A Number) consistently (Bruce)  The code formerly was not consistent about distinguishing Infinity from overflow conditions.

So this is more of a database problem than a jdbc driver problem? We are using variants of 8.1 and 8.2 in production.
What would be the options to handle this on earlier version where it is not fixed? Would it be a possibility that this will get changed in the 8.1 and 8.2 versions also?
