Thanks for pursuing this.  I'm afraid I have little expertise to
offer here, though I do note pack.t does a number of things that
should only be tried when not on VAX and when IEEE floating point has
been selected.  The changes that are causing you trouble were
introduced here:

The weird thing though is that no one else on OpenVMS Alpha is seeing
this failure.  I haven't been able to locate any math-specific ECOs
to 7.1-2, but I may be missing something.
