difference between max in summary table and max function

Franckx Laurent 
Dear all

I have found out that the max in the summary of an integer vector is not always equal to the actual maximum of that vector. For example:
Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.
      1   32880   65760   65760   98630  131500
[1] 131509

This has occurred both in a Windows and in a Linux environment.

Does this mean that the max value in the summary is only an approximation?

Best regards
