Irritatingly, I think my copy of LIA-1 is at home on a machine
that's powered off.  But C++ references it, so I think you have
to look there and not in the C++ standard directly.

What I remember is that min denormal must be 2**-p below the
min normalized number.  Which isn't satisfied in this case.

Feh.  I wrote those test cases.  Don't take them as definitive.
