Oops, sorry, a correction...

Older versions of Tremor used this split mantissa/exponent
representation.  The current version is performing a 32x32->64
multiply that then chooses the desired 32 bits of the output (although
24x24->48 would also be enough for the possible 140dB range of both
inputs to the multiply).
