One thing that was interesting when I was running the tests is that the 
failed for both testExpLn and testLnVsFloat. It seems like either fdlibm 
  or your code is off by one bit. For example:

(1 asArbitraryPrecisionFloatNumBits: 53) exp asFloat hex
=> '4005BF0A8B145769'

1 asFloat exp hex
=> '4005BF0A8B14576A'

(3 asArbitraryPrecisionFloatNumBits: 53) ln asFloat hex
=> '3FF193EA7AAD030B'

3 asFloat ln hex
=> '3FF193EA7AAD030A'

Any ideas what could cause this? I would have expected these two to 
agree on the result.
