Actually log and atan seem to behave correctly (and even honor the rounding
mode).

But tan, sinh and cosh are buggy:

$ ./tfct-4rm 1.6
N: tan(1.6000000000000001) = -34.232532735557314
Z: tan(1.6000000000000001) = -34.232532735557307
D: tan(1.6000000000000001) = -34.232532735557307
U: tan(1.6000000000000001) = -1.9000553624671392

$ ./tfct-4rm 100
N: sinh(100) = 1.3440585709080678e+43
Z: sinh(100) = 1.3440585709080676e+43
D: sinh(100) = 1.3440585709080676e+43
U: sinh(100) = -5.7576991416613074e+42

$ ./tfct-4rm 100
N: cosh(100) = 1.3440585709080678e+43
Z: cosh(100) = 1.3440585709080676e+43
D: cosh(100) = 1.3440585709080676e+43
U: cosh(100) = -5.7576991416613074e+42

tanh seems accurate, but it doesn't honor the rounding mode:

$ ./tfct-4rm 0.8
N: tanh(0.80000000000000004) = 0.66403677026784913
Z: tanh(0.80000000000000004) = 0.6640367702678488
D: tanh(0.80000000000000004) = 0.66403677026784902
U: tanh(0.80000000000000004) = 0.66403677026784891
