That'll be because of Richard's changes to NumberValueRangeProcessor.

It's been doing that for some time (since before 1.0.0).  I'm virtually
certain it's not a genuine problem with the library, but rather
something amiss with the test harness.  We've not managed to work out
what so far though.

If you're bored, you could usefully binary chop SVN to find the change
which caused it to start failing.  My guess would be some time in April.

Cool.
