FWIW, the mantissa of double is effectively 52+1 bits, about 15.9
digits. so 1+(1e-16) is basically indistincitve from
1+(2e-16). Actually two double precisions 1+2e-16 and 1+3e-16 are
indistinctive from each other.

patchdiff and cannot figure it out. There are only logging changes. How this affects scan?
FWIW, I saw the same symptom by my another patch after adding a value
to POINT_TBL. (But I didn't pursue the cause further..)
