But I thought the point of the test was to verify that the compiler's 
understanding of existence of subnormal values was consistent with the 
processor.  If the processor is in a mode supporting such values, the 
exceptions should be masked.  That is, the present test should pass 
unconditionally, if it doesn't pass that indicates a bug (which might be 
appropriate for XFAILing).
