I tested... and well I was actually right (I should have trusted my gut
feeling a little more...)
NaN is the culprit.
check your algorithm (you initialize, backwards for some strange
reason) just part of the arrays...
putting
xs[] = 1.0;
ys[] = 2.0;
instead of your strange loops, solves everything...
