Subject: Regarding processors and Rebel-Hoffman game

Can someone please explain to me how a problem with  computer processor can
cause it to play a move that is would not prefer at any ply on otherwise normal
hardware?  I could understand how a problem with the processor would cause it to
not search deep enough, or not search at all, and therefore play a weaker move
than it would have, if it had performed a satisfactory search;  But how can a
problem with the processor cause software like Rebel to play a move that it
would never prefer at all if it had been running on proper hardware?
Thanks,
Jeff
