WP 34S vs. DM42 decimal128 differences?
Today I stumbled about a footnote in Walter's WP 34S Owner's manual, where at Page 319 the result of the Calculator Forensics Test is mentioned. To my big surprise, the DP difference between the test result, and 9, is

for WP 34S: -6.2465E-29
for DM42: -6.2466E-29

But why the differerence of 1 ULP?? For the other example (1.0000001^2^27), there isn't any difference between the two models, BTW.
