Actually, the accuracy spec on the DS2438 temperature is +/- 2.  You have to 
calibrate it to get higher accuracy readings.

I just tried this and it seems the 18S20 on the board agrees pretty
well with an external 18B20 daisychained together, as well as with an
actual mercury thermometer. It's only the 2438 that reports 1 or 1.5ºC
more. It seems I've been getting high readings because I screwed up
and used the 2438 reading instead of the 18S20.

Cheers,

Pedro
