Looking at the manual, the correct term is denormalized.  The hex
ranges for positive PA floats are:

Signaling NaN	7fffffff - 7fc00000
Quiet Nan	7fbfffff - 7f800000
Infinity	7f800000
Normalized	7f7fffff - 00800000
Denormalized	007fffff - 00000001
Zero		00000000

As I mentioned, floating point exceptions are all disabled by default
under hpux, so overflows, underflows, inexact results are all quietly
ignored.
