Hmm. I wonder why cc and gcc are doing different math.  Wierd. 

I suspect it might have to do with what gcc was compiled on (7.0.x of
UW).   Can we make 2 expected files and have the map file figure it
out? 

As to the timestamp, can we make a note that on timechange sundays
don't run the regression test? :-)

Not only that, but you get different results with the same compiler
depending on different optimization settings.  The joys of binary floating
point...

The resultmap mechanism isn't really prepared for this yet, but it is
doable I'd say.

We've had a note in there since the last change (April was it?), which was
when I ran into this. :-)
