Hmm, as does ceilf. But trunf() the only other doing this, does not
get the sigFPE:

fstcw, then:

floorf()     ceilf()      truncf()
or  0x0400   or  0x0800   or 0x0c00
and 0xf7ff   and 0xfbff

and fldcw the modified version.

Then why is truncf() different... ? All abuse the 0x0c00 bits of the
control word.
