Quite different is a strong word in this situation.

Try and do a couple of calculations,
from clean slate do Mull+Hirsh, Mull, Hirsh,
from restart do Mull+Hirsh, Mull, Hirsh,
you should find that numerical inaccuracies are inevitable and small
deviances are necessarily found sometimes (you could also _hack_ the code
and add more digits, then you should find more consistent numbers).
