This is ok, but I'd prefer if a testcase went along with it. Something like
if (tiny(x)/2. /= tiny(x)/2. - (nearest(tiny(x),1.) - tiny(x)))/2.) &
call abort
should do the trick. (The idea is to change the digit that gets chopped off
when we go from normalized to subnormal numbers, I'm not sure if I got it
right, though). I'll have a go at fixing NEAREST for subnormals now.
