Comment(by rbeezer):

 Replying to [comment:38 spancratz]:
 > I hadn't even heard about the "-long" tests.

 Sorry, my fault.  First time it got me as well.

 > I take it I only need to look at the first few problems and not the
 known failures, right?

 Yes, you can expect those other failures, but they are not yours to deal
 with.

 > 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.

 Sounds good.
