That is _highly_ likely.  I've seen it many times.  I even spent time more than
once debugging something someone sent me only to be unable to reproduce it at
all.  Then they say "this is on an overclocked machine running at XXX, but it
passed all the overclocking tests.."  That is now always the first question I
ask when someone sends me an unusual problem.
