Differences in the last couple of decimal places in the geometry test
are definitely not a cause for worry.  Although we've tried to create
exact-match reference files for the most popular platforms, I think
that's largely an exercise in time-wasting.  Eventually we will figure
out a way to make the geometry output round off a few digits, and then
the cross-platform differences should mostly vanish.
