Ick! Not good. Could you try figuring out which lines differ?

diff -u $builddir/tests/arith-true.Rout.fail $srcdir/tests/arith-true.Rout.save

should do the trick. The line numbers from Rdiff are generated after
removing some lines, so figuring out which are lines 71 and 73 is
tricky, and I suspect they aren't the same as on my machine(?!).
