Lockhart has always taken the position that the regression reference
platform is whatever he's using ;-). IIRC, he updated from Mandrake 7
to Mandrake 8, or something like that, over the summer, and voila the
reference geometry results changed.
You need to see if any of the existing variant files for geometry
match your platform, and if not make a new variant; in any case add
an entry to resultmap.
Of course the long-term answer here is to arrange to suppress a few
low-order digits when displaying the geometry results, but that's
not happening for 7.2.
