   I do recall some paper discussing the problem, but I do not have time to 
   look into this. If you find the slides feel tree to send them to me off 
   list.

moreover it is not enough to set it at startup time, since any other component
or even the user may revert the rounding mode. Thus this change has to be made
at every call of a quaddouble function.
