 for an interesting bit of analysis. The StrictMath answer does appear correct 
and the difference comes from some alternate assembly code implementation in 
the x86 JVM. Whatever happens there we may wish to sidestep the problem with a 
change like this anyway.
   
   Yes I can update the migration guide with a note that the returned value may 
be very slightly different.
   
   The perf overhead is trivial here, so that's no issue.
   
   Now let me investigate the further test failures.
