You can ignore this error.  It is annoying, but it isn't much
of a bug. The differences in the values is less than something like
10e-15. The first value is something like 4.9999999999999e-3 and the
second value is about 5.00000000000000001e-3. The difference is caused
by differences in the way some platforms evaluate some of the internal
functions when the arguments are close together.
