Comment (by fredrik.johansson):

 Regarding the "What is going on?!" comment: transcendental functions are
 not quite deterministic due to internal caches. In this case, doing
 something that results in an internal recomputation of log(2) to higher
 precision leads to a slightly more accurate value later on.

 This is something that I could fix with a bit of effort.

 In any case, output could also change slightly between versions due to
 changes in algorithms. That's an inherent drawback of doing doctests this
 way...
