projection returns different results in Debian containers #2

Description

@corviday

Our test file uses this projection string: +proj=ob_tran +o_proj=longlat +lon_0=-97 +o_lat_p=42.5 +a=1 +to_meter=0.0174532925199 +no_defs

This projection string yields different results with R proj4's project() function on Debian than on other tested operating systems (Windows, CentOS, Ubuntu, Fedora, MacOS). It yields different results both with normal projection and inverse projection, and on a wide variety of coordinate inputs.

This can be most easily confirmed with the RHub docker container rhub/debian-gcc-devel

I have tested a few other projection strings - Mercator, Albers equal area - and found that their results do not vary between containers.

I have test the problem projection with command-line proj, and got results in agreement with the other operating systems.

So at the moment it is quite unclear what the problem is.
