I can't say without more information.  If the system were saturated 
(i.e., has as many equations as unknowns), you should get the same 
answer from all the different methods.  However, I just tried a 
saturated model in 'systemfit', with the following results:

 > DF2 <- data.frame(y=1:2, x=3:4)
 > lm(y~x, DF2)
Call:
lm(formula = y ~ x, data = DF2)

Coefficients:
(Intercept)            x
          -2            1
 > library(systemfit)
 > systemfit("OLS", list(eqn=y~x), data=DF2)
Error in solve.default(sigma, tol = solvetol) :
        system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number = 0

          If you'd like more help from this listserve, please supply a simple, 
self-contained example to illustrate your question (as suggested in the 
posting guide! "www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html").

          Hope this helps.

Quite surprisingly (for myself at least) the results
are identical to the last digit.
