Ummm ... I get the same as you ... but I don't see the results as being
"clearly wrong".
Could you elaborate ? (Sometimes my vision is not all that great :-)

Perhaps you need to 'printf("%d\n", mpf_get_default_prec());' to see the
default precision that is actually being used.

If you want to set the precision to 16 bits you probably need to use mpfr
instead.
