  We reprise the analysis of Stassun & Torres (2016), comparing the parallaxes
of the eclipsing binaries reported in that paper to the parallaxes newly
reported in the Gaia second data release (DR2). We find evidence for a
systematic offset of $-82 \pm 33$ micro-arcseconds, in the sense of the Gaia
parallaxes being too small, for brightnesses $(G \lesssim 12)$ and for
distances (0.03--3 kpc) in the ranges spanned by the eclipsing binary sample.
The offset does not appear to depend strongly on distance within this range,
though there is marginal evidence that the offset increases (becomes slightly
more negative) for distances $\gtrsim 1$ kpc, up to the 3 kpc distances probed
by the test sample. The offset reported here is consistent with the expectation
that global systematics in the Gaia DR2 parallaxes are below 100
micro-arcseconds.
