AMBER: cnstph test case failure or expected divergence?

I'm in the process of installing Amber on two machines, an Intel core
2 quad core server running Debian and a Sun Solaris installation.

On the sun, the cnstph test case is running as expected and producing
identical results to the standard.

On our Intel server, even the first step is producing drastically
different energies, especially EGB and by step 20 the states have
changed significantly from the standard. Parallel and serial
implementations are producing identical results, this just seems too
different to be a rounding change. Is this just a randomization
change or should we be looking deeper.

Thanks
