Comment(by spancratz):

 Dear Rob,

 Yes, you're right.  I hadn't even heard about the "-long" tests.
 Regarding the above problems, I take it I only need to look at the first
 few problems and not the known failures, right?

 I've already checked that they definitely are "just" numerical noise,
 running the methods in question with the parameter "prec" in {10,20,30}
 gave answers 0.95, 1.0001, 0.99999994, respectively.  However, I think the
 right way to fix this is not to change the doctests, but to pass the
 parameter algorithm="hessenberg" at the appropriate place to ensure that
 the behaviour isn't changed.  I'll look into this probably tomorrow.

 Sebastian
