In a thread on comp.lang.c, it was pointed out that softfloat
has a bug and in checking src/lib/libc/softfloat I confimed
the issue is present in FreeBSD.  What I hae not confirmed 
is whether or not it is possible to hit this bug.  In fact,
it may only hit arm and mips.  Anyway, here's the patch

         z0 = a0>>count;
     }
     else {
-        z1 = ( count < 64 ) ? ( a0>>( count & 63 ) ) : 0;
+        z1 = ( count < 128 ) ? ( a0>>( count & 63 ) ) : 0;
         z0 = 0;
     }
     *z1Ptr = z1;
