Comment (by jdemeyer):
I actually meant
{{{
system-dependent (floating point arithmetic or math libraries) or non-
deterministic algorithms
}}}
i.e. system-dependent math libraries, not Sage math libraries.
> Fortunately what causes problems in the third-party math librarires that
we use is precisely floating-point airethmetic or non-deterministic
algorithms, so that's fine.
That's not actually true. You could have exactly the same hardware with
different deterministic results for `log()` because the system uses a
different library to compute `log()`. That's what I meant.
