Pinney and Bean report incorrect values for obstructed view factors F16 and F61. I calculated F16 by modifying an expression from Hamilton and Morgan (1952) for an unobstructed line source and plane ("Configuration L-2"), and my result agrees with View3D (see attached file PB.pdf). With this correction, some other discrepancies (F17 and F18) may be recalculated and, also, agree with View3D.
I built View3D 4.0 on ubuntu 18.04 LTS 64-bit.

Other discrepancies remain in Rows 7 and 8 between Pinney and Bean and View3D. I haven't yet done the independent calculation.
See excerpt of View3d.log below; entire file attached.

@GlennEng Thanks for the information! I've edited your last comment so that information is all text, but that's all very helpful. I recall correctly (it's been a few years), this issue was that with GCC on Windows I was getting different answers from 32 bit and 64 bit executables. That's something I never saw on any other system, and is probably different than any discrepancies you're seeing.
With that said, differences between the program and a published source is an issue, so I'd very much welcome additional comments here or on an entirely new issue. Would you consider contributing your calculations/writeup to the manual?

I guess I should have created a new issue instead of piggybacking on yours.
Yes, feel free to use my calc/writeup in the View3D manual.
