Thanks for all your responses. The issue seems to be more complex than
I thought. Here is the output of Sys.info() and sessionInfo() on my
GNU/Linux machine (Ubuntu 16.04.02 LTS):
R> a <- 1234568.01 + c(0:1)
R> a
[1] 1234568 1234569
R> summary(a)
Min. 1st Qu. MedianMean 3rd Qu.Max.
1234
Might this be related to the Linux version? I'm testing on one of our
university servers, and they tend to be deprived of regular updates
sometimes... (Dirk, sorry for sending you this twice.)

Weird, because the output of Windows is actually correct. The exact mean of
a is 1234568.51, which rounds to 1234569.
I can reproduce the Windows output on a Windows machine. My Debian server
has R 3.3.1 , and there I can reproduce your output using:
> summary(a, digits = 8)
Min. 1st Qu. Medi
