Comment(by charris):

 In C, non-zero means true, nan isn't zero, so... I think there was a
 discussion thread or another ticket about this once, maybe about the
 logical value of nan. The mailing list is probably a better place to bring
 this up as it is more of the nature of a design decision than a bug. In C
 the operator is implemented as a && b, so it is a C thing. I wonder if
 that behavior is part of the C specification or varies?
