Inconsistent Path Loss with Minor Terrain Differences #21

Description

@jhazentia

For a small number of cases, there is a mismatch of path loss between Windows and Linux.
This appears to be a numeric rounding issue related to the LinearLeastSquaresFit function.

After further digging, this appears to be due to small differences in terrain profile. The
same Python code and terrain data was used to create the terrain files on Windows and Linux,
but different OS results in small differences in terrain profile. The extremely small
differences (max difference approx. 1E-9) can cause > 1 dB difference in pathloss in some
cases due to numeric error in the LinearLeastSquaresFit function.

I attached a couple of examples, I have more available if needed.
