maybe not even in theory. The number of possible combinations
of OS/compiler/libraries/OpenMP/MPI/whatever and of the
respective versions is just too big. I used to save in the user
guide sufficiently detailed reports of trouble, but most reports
are not informative enough, to put it mildly, and anyway it was
a waste of time.

By the way: years ago I have seen two supposedly identical
machines, installed with supposedly the same software, yield
different results (one working, one "segmentation fault")
