Ok thanks. We are attempting to migrate from version 2.0 
to a more recent version. I forgot to write down the reason the 
test was in the test plan. Version 2.1 latest revision showed this 
variance so I tried latest on 2.2 . I have not noticed a problem and I typically use 
alpine version 2.02 from Debian Wheezy.
