Follow-up Comment #5, bug #43734 (project octave):

I'm tempted to fix this particular report by just adding a tolerance to the
built-in self test.  When doing numerical calculations on computers one can't
really expect to do better than the machine precision.  So while this is
annoying that the answer is not exact, it is what you would expect.


eps(2.72)
ans =    4.4409e-16
