Comment (by ncohen):

 > I don't see a bug here, I see a definition problem: what are we
 expecting?
 > If we are not able to provide a clear definition of the expected
 behavior of the `distance` parameter, we should not have it in DFS.

 I agree with that, the fact that it is architecture-dependent is merely a
 way to show that we will never find a clear explanation of what can be
 expected.

 The other reason is that this being named 'distance' is very misleading.
