The machine I have access to, thanks to Paul Johnson, is running
Digital Unix 4.0d, which to my best guess is a couple revisions behind
Tru64 Unix Version (4.0f).  The latest Tru64 is 5.1?

Anyway, I did have problems with floating points on 4.0f, and
I could get it to pass the test by making this change:
