Re: Shades of the Pentium floating point bug?
Or even the similar floating-point problem with the DEC VAX (8600/Venus family I think) circa 1988? Recollections of my then employer's chemical engineering department having to re-run significant amounts of safety-critical design related computations over a period of weeks and months on alternative (slower) VAX models. In the support teams we ended up scheduling low-priority batch jobs running tasks with known results set up to flag re-occurances of the problem as it wasn't failing consistently.
