[Swan-dev] two test runs, on different machines, matched

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

I ran the tests suite last night on two machines. It used to be that one 
would expect different results from two runs "due to non-determanism", 
even on the same machine.

I got the same results on two machines.  That's either good news or luck.  
This is probably the result of hard work: thanks!

The machines are essentially identical except that one has an 8G of RAM 
and an SSD and the other has 16G of RAM and a HDD.  The different disk 
speeds might tend to amplify non-determinism.  The run times were 5:34 and 
6:23.
