Have I ever mentioned how much I dislike the i386? :-)
New test results for both i386 and amd64 follow my .sig.
New diff that merges all previous diff follows the test
results.

I see.  I (obviously) not did glean this from the comment.
The (c = (single)0.84506291151) isn't the leading 24-bits 
of erf(1).  It's the leading 24-bits of a constant near
erf(1).  I can regenerate polynomials with a hi+lo split.

Yes 'qa0' is spelled as 'one'.  I may remove this,
and spell 'qa0' as '1'.

I did not do any splitting.  I set erx = erf(1) in float precision.
pa0 ~ 1e-8f is on the order of epsilon, and the results of solving
a matrix equation.  Perhaps, hi+lo was used to ensure the stability
of the matrix solver.

I left my copy of Hildebrand at work over the weekend, so I haven't
reviewed the pitfalls of rational approximations, yet.

I wasn't aware of old BSD libm code.  After working through the
code in s_erf[f].c, it seemed to me that a better algorithm may
exist, but I haven't tried to look for one.  As you may guess,
I'm gearing up to translate s_erf.c into a s_erfl.c.
