Subject: Nondeterminsitic behavior

Author: Dave Gomboc

In the past, people have discussed how difficult it can be to debug a chess
program due to non-deterministic behavior.  Clearly, this can arise from a
multi-threaded search.  If, however, the search is single-threaded (and
discounting the play from the start of the game until the end of the opening
book), what factors, if any, might allow a program to still not play identically
each time?
