On a system for which I installed TeX Live two weeks ago and updated
yesterday, the LaTeX log (the full log is here [1]) shows some output
with 3.9f and some with 3.9g. Where does the initial 3.9f come from?
Does it somehow come from the approximation discussed above? If not,
this question is off topic and I will ask on tex.stackexchange.com.

On the system where I installed TeX Live yesterday, both are 3.9g. My
installation procedure was similar for both so I'm not sure where the
difference comes from.
