Hi, Guido,
Maybe I have the same experience when I did the mesh refinement by Z-Z error
estimator.
In my code, the meshes refined by Z-Z error estimator are different to each
other to some extent in 32-bit and 64-bit PCs, with the same code and the
same mesh generator.
So I also think that these is a problem of arithmetic accuracy of PCs.
