Could you try to find a simple code to reproduce the problem? In particular, it would be useful to check whether this comes from OpenBLAS differences or whether it also happens with pure Julia code (typical operations which depend on BLAS are matrix multiplication, as well as most of linear algebra). Normally, 0.4 and 0.5 should use the same BLAS, but who knows...
Can you also confirm that all versioninfo() fields are the same for all three machines, both for 0.4 and 0.5? We must envision the possibility that the differences actually come from 0.4.
