Follow-up Comment #2, bug #40562 (project octave):

Is this issue still relevant with the Octave version 4.2.0? Or can it be
closed now?

When I do "assert (3+2*eps, 3, eps)" (this is one of the mentioned tests that
needed fixing) then I get
* on linux (Ubuntu 14.04) the error message "Abs err 4.4409e-16 exceeds..."
* on Windows (official w32 installer) also the very same error message "Abs
err 4.4409e-16 exceeds..."

So both error text string have 2-digit exponents by default, no 3-digit
exponent on Windows any more.
