there was apost on the 754 list several months ago which said that one
of the origina 754 authors proved that after -- i think it was -- three
ops on the wider type the results of narrowing will only work if the
wide ops used the opposite rounding than desired for the narrow type.

ie, if even is the target use odd for all wide ops and even only for the
final narrowing.
