I don't think so, because these values are at most three decimal  
places.  I suppose it could be a round-off error difference caused by  
the extra precision, but I'm not clear on what the expected results  
for the t/limits.round.t tests are.

I posted the test results earlier but I don't know if they went  
through; I wasn't on the list yet.
