Yes, $numer is set to T within the function closeto in the file rtest14.mac.
Thank you very much for the value. I adjust the expected precision to 3.0e-15.
At the moment I am searching for a bug in bffac or $bern (full precision after
second call to bffac). See also the last bug report.
Until now I have no idea, what could be the reason for this bug.

Does closeto locally set numer to true?
