Probably.

No, we can't easily do that. We could conditionalize it on the OS
version, but I don't think it's worth the trouble. I've committed a
change to the expected file so that OSX 10.2 will pass cleanly, and
older versions will have the one-digit difference instead.

This whole issue should go away in PG 7.4, unless someone objects to the
current plan for making float output precision adjustable. We'll back
off the number of displayed digits in the geometry test by one or two
places, and hopefully need only one or a very few geometry comparison
files.
