nbest-rover-acoustic test failing

[David Gelbart]

Hi,

I have built SRILM 1.5.3 under Fedora Core 3 and Ubuntu 6.06. The 
nbest-rover-acoustic test fails for me because stdout differs from the 
reference output.

Below, I have included the beginning of my output and the reference 
output.  On line 10, puh_f and pum_f in the reference output are 
replaced with puh and pum in my output.  On line 16, 0.958381 in the 
reference output is replaced with 0.958202 in my output, and similarly 
for several of the other numbers.  The same kind of differences 
(sometimes missing _f after phone name, and sometimes slightly 
different numbers) continue later on in my output, and there are also 
cases where different words are recognized.  I have placed the full 
outputs at http://www.icsi.berkeley.edu/~gelbart/sriTest.tar

Does anyone have suggestions about what might be causing this? I have 
set LANG=C, LC_NUMERIC=C, and LC_ALL=C.

The beginning of my output, with line numbers:
