Dear all, As one of the developers of ProbABEL I can confirm this is a rounding error. We have had similar problems in the past. The test run by make is simply diff-ing the output of a test run with a 'known good' file. Back when ProbABEL was still actively developed, I tried my best to maintain accuracy across the platforms I knew were being actively used by our users. ARM and PPC where never among those, neither did I have access to machines with that architecture.
All in all I think either of Andreas' proposed solutions is fine. Best regards, Lennart.
