FWIW running your test on my F87 EXT prec system produced 0 errors;
while F87 DBL prec resulted in 18 errors.

I may try re-writing my input routine to parse from the other end but
my suspicion is it will be the same.  It may avoid having to SET-NEAR
but likely that's all.

The IEEE spec for exact conversion was always going to be a high bar.
If one must have that, I'd rather use an EXT prec system and rename
DF@ DF! to F@ F! .
