R devel - Aug 2004 - make check failed with a minor error

Hi,
 
I am building R off the source file  "The latest release (2004-06-21):
R-1.9.1.tgz <http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/src/base/R-1.9.1.tgz>  " on RH
Linux 7.3. After the build the "make check" failed with an error which
I
judge to be minor, but would like to hear from the experts in the field.
Is it harmeless? Can it indicate some problem with my computer setup
(not R)?
 
 
running code in 'd-p-q-r-tests.R' ... OK
comparing 'd-p-q-r-tests.Rout' to './d-p-q-r-tests.Rout.save'
...267c267
< df = 0.5[1] "Mean relative  difference: 5.001647e-10"
---
> df = 0.5[1] TRUE
 
Thanks a lot in advance,
Vadim

Didn't we just see that in another thread? If you have been tampering
with the compiler flags for numerics, this sort of thing may happen.
The tolerance in the check criterion is at 5e-10 so you're only just
over, and you might argue that the torerance is simply too tight.
