Not sure what's going on exactly...


The machines I use have the 'security enhancement' enabled which makes addresses vary
between program invocations. So if code generation depends on pointer values at any
point, this will cause varying behaviour.


A common mistake is to hash on pointers, and do a hash table traversal where the ordering matters.
Or doing a quicksort with a missing or address-based tie-breaker.
