I think I read somewhere in QEMU's documentation that the actual x86 
uses a non-standard representation for floating point numbers that is 
neither faithfully represented by double nor by long double. So unless 
you are willing to sacrifice heaps of speed for perfect emulation, I 
guess we will have to live with that.
