It's the value that C's strtold() assigns - but the mpfr library tells me that the correct value (for rounding to nearest, ties to even) is 5ab7151b377c247e5707b80b0047445d. Having spent some time tonight playing around with various ad-hoc values, it seems that strtold() is little more reliable than perl when it comes to assigning these values.
