We've already seen on numerous occasions how it behaves differently on
different systems ;)

The only really answer to this is rigorous testing. Mozilla's tinderbox system
is interesting in this respect -- round the clock, automated compiles and tests
on all target platforms, with problems reported direcly to the people who broke
the build. We already have a substantial test suite that could be used for
this, although it would take some resources.

At the moment I think we do pretty well by having so many people developing at
such a fast pace on different platforms (of course this may become a problem
when core development moves primarily to Linux). Platform diversity is good for
all of us :)

Dan.
