These failures are not repeatable, and had seen this happen a few times. The tolerance margin for this statistical test is presently set at 0.005.
I once had a test failure that read: java.lang.AssertionError: expected:<0.5> but was:<0.50578> Maybe change the fuzzfactor for this test from present 0.005 to 0.006?

This test is statistical and may have too tight a tolerance.
