I once saw a board that was 2.5 mm, which would cause what you 
describe.  As soon as I figured out what the problem was, in the trash 
it went.

But, if industry says that they're defined as the same, then I'm the one out of date.  =)  I wonder what was with that old prototype board.  I can't find it, so it must be in a landfill, but it was just exactly the wrong size to fit a chip.  You could get the first few pins in, but then the differences would be enough that no more would fit.
