+# A test for SF bug 422177:  manifest float constants varied way too much in
+# precision depending on whether Python was loading a module for the first
+# time, or reloading it from a precompiled .pyc.  The "expected" failure
+# mode is that when test_import imports this after all .pyc files have been
+# erased, it passes, but when test_import imports this from
+# double_const.pyc, it fails.  This indicates a woeful loss of precision in
+# the marshal format for doubles.  It's also possible that repr() doesn't
+# produce enough digits to get reasonable precision for this box.
