Well, if "It was something about the windows compiler not doing math formulas in quite the same order as generic open OS compilers" then odds are that the use of parathensises, and breaking the formula down into discrete lines of code, would take care of it.

Discrete lines can do it. Parentheses can't. The problem, from what we've been told, was that:
random1().LT.random2();//Let's mix FORTRAN and C because of the HTML rules on the board!

Was evaluated in the opposite order under VC++ (right to left) than GCC (left to right). That kind of statement appeared in the MR checking code, so as soon as a MR check happened, the whole rest of the battle was out of whack.
