It can't possibly be 107.  IRIX must be doing something wrong in
setting LDBL_MANT_DIG to 107, since there are only 53 bits of
precision in each double, even if you count the implicit 1s.  Besides,
the emulation I implemented worked correctly down to the least
significant bits with IRIX's printf, so I'm checking these bits in
too, per rth's approval.
