[ODE] dt computation

[steve1011]

There was discussion a while ago about math difference between PowerPC 
and Intel processors that showed up between OSX and others. On the same 
cpu, I would hope there were no differences due to linux/win. It should 
be the same FPU; unless there are differences between Intel and AMD or 
within cpu families. What about the random number seed? Could that 
account for the behavior?
