If you compare for equality then those two numbers, 0.0 and -0.0, are considered equal. It seems a lot of people consider that a good reason for them to have the same hash value, which I consider entirely fairly reasonable.

Of course since NaN != x, whatever x is (including infinity and NaN), one could argue it's fine for different NaNs to return different hash codes. But I think most people think of NaN as one thing, and not the 9007199254740990 or so different NaN encodings[1] there are in a double.
