  • tests: Accept slightly different numeric results

    FLT_EPSILON is the distance between 1.0 and the next distinct floating point number, and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the precision we can expect from a series of floating-point calculations. Experimentally, 1e-6 is achievable, even on platforms with unusual floating point implementations like i387.

    Resolves: #6051 (closed)
