[AMBER] Instantaneous temperature in TI simulation

When inspecting the duplicate outputs of my TI simulations, the only field
that does not match exactly (differs in hundredths place) is TEMP. Should I
be worried?

Here is the last step of 2 500ps constant pressure and temperature
(Andersen) runs:

Setting new random velocities at step 500000
check COM velocity, temp: 0.012618 0.24(Removed)

 NSTEP = 500000 TIME(PS) = 500.000 *TEMP(K) = 307.13* PRESS =
208.8
 Etot = -12051.3906 EKtot = 2875.8469 EPtot =
-14927.2375
 BOND = 0.0009 ANGLE = 0.0371 DIHED =
0.6896
 1-4 NB = 0.0000 1-4 EEL = 0.0000 VDWAALS =
2233.4439
 EELEC = -16944.7070 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
 AM1ESCF= -216.7020
 DV/DL = -83.9330
 EKCMT = 1427.5339 VIRIAL = 1209.3391 VOLUME =
48398.3971
                                                    Density =
0.9689
 Ewald error estimate: 0.9092E-02
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks,

P.S. Perhaps unrelated, but something that impacts the velocities: I recall
(perhaps incorrectly) being told that I should be careful about random
number seeds being identical in the 2 processes, so I set them manually in
the input files using a large random number (i.e. I did NOT use ig = -1).
