Including this one
<https://forums.theregister.co.uk/forum/all/2019/10/15/bug_python_scripts/#c_3893686>
which mentions a similar situation that arose with a piece of software
called FreeSurfer, which in 2012
<https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0038234>
was discovered to produce results that varied by OS platform and

both of which are implemented in (different parts of) SciPy.
