I see no date problems there. Are you mistaking the diff headers for
data differences?
Anyway, the exp/pow problems are probably the result of a known
configuration glitch: if finite() is a function rather than a macro
on your machine, then 6.5.* doesn't do overflow testing correctly for
these two functions. The polygon diffs look like just the usual
cross-machine differences in floating-point roundoff error, and the
random diff is, well, random. (Run it again and it probably won't
fail.)
In short, nothing to worry about here.
