Or the script could be reading a file that is changing.
Or it could be using the output of toc in a computation.
Or it could be calling an improperly written .oct file that has
undefined behaviour.
Or it could be running into a race condition during an asynchronous
operation (e.g. network communication).
Or there could be a call to a function that does invoke a RNG and
wasn't expected to do so.
Or the operating system itself may have memory/stack corruption.
Frankly, I still prefer my software gnomes theory. ;-)
