I did some more digging into floating point formats.  For 80 bit extended, the
top bit of the mantissa is supposed to be set for normalized numbers.  My test case
disobeys that rule.  So, my earlier claim that long double math is broken is
apparently false.

What I can't figure out is, what is this bit pattern according ieee?  80 bit
extended has a number of disallowed patterns.
